Enhancing Construction Education Using an Online Multimedia Collection
Modern information technology, such as digital multimedia and the Internet has made a great impact on people's lives, especially today's undergraduate students who grew up in the digital world and are more comfortable in image-rich environments than with text. This new generation of students is both information and multimedia literate, and has learning expectations, styles and needs different from past generations. Educators are faced with the challenge of adapting their teaching styles to accommodate this new generation of learners. In an attempt to enhance teaching and learning about construction, and to experiment with a new tool to motivate students, faculty members at Auburn University have developed an online construction multimedia library. This paper presents the utilization of this digital library through lectures, homework assignments and projects in two courses within the curriculum: 1) Construction Materials, Methods and Equipment, and 2) Reinforced Concrete. This paper demonstrates the value of this online multimedia library for construction education.
