Classroom Response Systems• Can be used for attendance,
discussion, questions, comprehension• Integrated with PowerPoint • Embed questions in PowerPoint:
multiple choice, True/False, etc– Integration with on-line quizzes– Timed questions– Live response feed
Simulation Exercises•Avoid rote math•What-if?•Relation of variables•Visualize the data•When the answers are more accessible, the questions are more significant
Simulation Exercises•Simulation is like a game•Simulation builds intuition
Project based exercisesThe ‘Regeneration-Based Checklist for analysing Carbon-Neutral, Zero Net Energy Design and Construction’ of buildings
Project based exercisesThe ‘Regeneration-Based Checklist for analysing Carbon-Neutral, Zero Net Energy Design and Construction’
The term "regenerative" describes processes that restore, renew or revitalize their own sources of energy and materials, creating sustainable systems that integrate the needs of society with the integrity of nature. (Source: Wikipedia)
PROJECT BASED EXERCISES•Pass on the design projects from one group to the other so they know to assess, critique and work out solutions to other designs.
Example:– Project 1 : Conceptual design – Group 1– Project 2: Passive design strategies – Group 1– Project 3: Assess the passive design strategies and propose changes to further reduce the thermal loads – Group 2– Project 4: Apply low energy cooling strategies – Group 3– Project 5: Feasibility of net-zero energy design – Group 4
PROJECTS•Real projects to work onExample: • Pablo La Roche – project with HMC architects–Real world requirements. Respond to real world client needs and budget. Thrill and excitement to see the project built soon.
• Bruce Haglund – 4 different themed design projects–Different take aways from each project. Real world interface to winning competitions to winning grant for implementation
•Murray Milne – design project for the climatology class–Simple project. No design time. Focus on analysis and building performance of one project thru the semester. Critical thinking.
WIKIEDUCATOR.ORG•Sustainable global community for educators•Planning of education projects•Collaborative Development of free content
Resources:•Direct instructional – Educational Plans and full courses•Learning-support - Individual college portals can be uploaded for free distribution
•Reuse, adapt and share educational content without restriction (Free)
•Open book tests/exams - Critical thinking & application of concepts•On-line quizzes - Reinforce readings, etc. (eg. Quizstar)•Encourage students to take their own notes•Mobile apps could be used for answering questions, changing slides and using wi-fi instead of manual clicking
MISC. AIDS
•Alternate to giving assignments (not a replacement)•Objective –Improves accessibility •Ease of assessment •Promotes open book/additional reading•Analysis tools
