Automation of the Design and Development of Digital Educational Resources for E-Learning in Architectural Graphic Expression

Abstract

A new educational model is beginning to take shape based on experiences of mobile e-learning driven by Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and the strong demand for innovative computer applications in the construction sector. In design tasks they provide results with great accuracy and reliability. Its mission is focused on incorporating the Building Information Modeling (BIM) Methodology, at the appropriate level for each specific subject of the degree, to allow the correct professional development. In this context, traditional technical drawing procedures, although still useful, are relegated to the background. The integration of traditional and computerized procedures into a common Knowledge Base can help resolve the dilemma. The design of customized e-learning solutions, based on Learning Management Systems (LMS), accelerates the process, but requires the incorporation of additional eassessment tools. In this dynamic, even traditional handwritten notes on paper are beginning to be relegated by digital notes and mental maps. In this work, and with the aim of favoring the implementation of the BIM Methodology, it is proposed to merge the Knowledge Base (represented by concept mapping) in all the subjects of Architectural Graphic Expression. The setup of the Workspace for the development of techniques in Descriptive Geometry Representation Systems will be essential.
