Course Description |
How can we effectively engage students? How can we provide appropriate instruction to students with
different interests and preparation? Students in the course will
work on improving learning in the introductory computer graphics course, arch
410/510. We will consider content
choices in comparison with other schools.
We will strategize about what material is best delivered in lecture
vs. lab vs. self-guided formats To
enliven the course, we will examine alternatives for delivery and
interaction. As time allows, we will
discuss ways to improve the overall digital curriculum and the learning
environment. |
