The objectives of this study were to (i) examine the studies about history of development and the archaeological site of the ancient city of Xingcheng, and (ii) investigate students' learning of history of the archaeological site of Xingcheng using knowledge transfer via digital media. The data were collected from surveys, interviews,…

The cave automatic virtual environment (CAVE) can provide a large-scale immersive and interactive virtual reality (VR) learning environment, which is suitable for the navigation of visualized learning objects and communication among teachers and students. Its applications have gained attention in the field of architecture, engineering, and…

In the field of complexity, new methodologies emerge, such as horizon architecture, which help to focus solutions that can be integrated to foster innovation in university education. Technologies are also opening up opportunities for training, such as virtual and augmented reality. This article aims to answer the question: What innovations do…

In this paper, we propose novel transdisciplinary STEAM practices to enable students and teachers to model architecture using technology. Architectural modelling can foster students' mathematical knowledge and computational thinking while connecting them to other disciplines such as culture and history. Our study focuses on enabling architectural,…

This dissertation was conducted to explore the influence of architectural design on educators' and students' behavior and perception about their learning. The study began with four principal questions, concerning a new academic building at the University of Kansas. However, the inquiry process took me to different directions. The questions focused…

During the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the major concerns at the Universidad de Ciencias y Artes de América Latina (UCAL; the University of Sciences and Arts of Latin America) has been to keep offering high-quality education with effective teaching methodologies and creativity at its core. This article aims to describe and understand the use of…

In this study, we proposed an augmented reality- (AR-) based mobile touring system for an authentic learning activity, which enables students to observe and learn key information regarding cultural heritage sites. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed system, we conducted an experiment in a cultural heritage course at a Taiwanese…

Purpose: The study aims to design and develop a virtual structural design that simulates the campus and its buildings of a community college in Bukidnon, Philippines through Virtual Reality. With the immersion of technology, this project represents the architectural design of the establishment with the use of Virtual Reality Technology. Method:…

The proactive role of university students demands that teaching staff engage in attempts at motivating students to make greater efforts at building knowledge by providing them with resources that facilitate learning. This paper provides details of a study that has involved designing and building Learning Objects (LOs) for Architectural Graphic…

Aim/Purpose: This study investigates, through structural equation modeling, the direct and indirect effects of blended learning on overall course satisfaction and student performance in interior architecture. Background: For critical education contexts, it is important to analyze student satisfaction with blended learning as well as its effects on…

Technological developments bring along lots of innovations. One of the innovations that have become widespread in recent years is the concept of augmented reality. In current scientific literature there are a lot of studies in literature about augmented reality which can be defined as the combination of real and virtual worlds, experienced by…

This article discusses the challenges and opportunities identified in the implementation of the Citylab project in Latin America during the period of 2015-2018. The project was funded by the Erasmus+ Key action 2 programme of the European Union. The project aims to innovate teaching for sustainability in higher education institutions through…

Today, there is a reform in education around the world. The new and advanced technologies brought to our lives by the 21st century and frequently used in our daily lives are now being used for education. They start to come up with different practices in classrooms and schools (Higher Education in Digital Age, 2016). Today, individualized learning…

Spatial design as a discipline relies on the psychological construct of space. In the light of shortcomings and challenges faced by traditional approaches to spatial design learning, this paper investigates the role and value of Virtual Reality (VR) as a pedagogic vehicle. Based on understandings informed by action-research using VR with learners…

The current concept of architectural design education in most schools of architecture in Jordan is a blend between manual and digital approaches. However, the disconnection between these two methods has resulted in the students' failure to transfer skills learnt through traditional methods to the digital method of CAAD. The objective of this study…
