article “A virtual laboratory environment for online IT education” [12] provides theexperience of Drexel University’s implementation of their virtual networked laboratory (VNL).The university was introducing a new BS degree in IT and their commitment to distance learningmandated that they develop a VL to accommodate these distance learning students. The questionwas asked “How can the IT laboratory experience best be provided to the online student” [12].The solution that they came up with was a virtual laboratory where remote learners can carry outmultiple experiments, including the actual set-up of the network connection. Their researchdemonstrated that course management software such as Blackboard were needed for onlinedelivery but did not

These student activities require utilizing Grasshopper-for-Rhino software for parametricdesign simulation of responsive facade and using Diva software for daylight measurements todetermine the optimum hourly visual comfort metrics. Through these activities, students improvetheir skills in Computer Aided Design, oral and written presentation, experiment design, andanalytical thinking.

Technology The University of the Basque Country Abstract Computer engineers increasingly depend on the use of software tools to evaluate and inves- tigate the design of computer systems. It is therefore very important that educators in this eld promote extensive tool-based experimentation by students. However, the integration of today's complex tools into curricula poses several challenges to instructors. To deploy a tool-based class experiment, they must 1 obtain access to hardware resources that meet the requirements of the tool, and obtain access to student accounts on these resources; 2 install and maintain the tool software and

These concerns are reasonably justified as noted previously whereby the adoption ofcomputers and 2D CAD has coincided with a decrease in documentation quality andproductivity4. Similar resistance exists to teaching engineering analysis and design computerapplications, on the grounds that university courses should teach theory and that graduates willlearn software packages in the workplace.Many educators still view BIM as yet another CAD program that students should learn in theirown time. However, this argument misses the point that BIM is not merely a new CAD tool orcomputer application: it is a new paradigm and its benefits extend far greater than merevisualisation.
