“…Taking Stahl's [3] caution seriously, we conceptualised the pedagogical design of our collaboration-inducing ITT-mediated activity Orbitia by relying on a sound and validated cooperative learning approach developed by the Johnsons [5,6]. We are aware that all the other considerations listed by Stahl [3] interface design, user evaluation and collaboration cultureare equally important and closely intertwined.…”

“…Stahl [3] rightfully points out that every technology in order to achieve a desirable educational outcome requires "considerable interface design, user evaluation, pedagogical structuring, and collaborative culture" (p. 486). While the implementation of ORBIT's multidisciplinary design-based research process as well as results of the video-taped trials are resp.…”

Constructive collaboration can be a difficult matter. For this reason, we are implementing and studying an interactive-tabletop-mediated activity that aims at inducing collaboration among participants. The resulting activity 'Orbitia' is designed as a serious game. Participants are asked to act as a spacemining crew, which has to collect minerals with a rover and rely on a cameradrone for reconnaissance, while keeping the rover out of harm and managing limited resources. In this paper we provide an account of how we designed Orbitia's pedagogical structuring by relying on the Johnsons' cooperative learning approach whose fundamental concept is "positive interdependence". More particularly, we show how we worked on resource, role and task interdependence to design three collaboration-inducing 'flagship' devices: the roversteering-device (RSD), the item-locating-device (ILD) and the responsibilityactivating-device (RAD).

Evaluating the effectiveness of online teaching in architecture courses

Architectural Science Review

In recent decades there has been an increase in online learning in many disciplines including architecture. In 2020, this situation accelerated as architecture programs world-wide transitioned to online learning. This paper uses surveys and semi-structured interviews to evaluate the effectiveness of online teaching for architecture courses. A total of 15 courses from three Australian universities were included in this study, survey results from 88 students in these courses were collected, and three in-depth interviews with course convenors were conducted. The results indicate that students have relatively positive learning experiences in online courses, in particular due to the increased flexibility that they can enable. However, there is also a need for further development of the online teaching tools associated with architecture studio courses, and an opportunity to enhance teaching for online lecture-based courses which presently show sub-optimal student engagement.Currently, the most frequently adopted online teaching tools are Blackboard Collaborate Ultra, Microsoft Teams and Zoom. In architectural studios, Blackboard Collaborate Ultra is particularly popular since it allows tutors to draw on top of students' work, which to a large extent simulates the sketching process of traditional face-to-face studios. Despite all of this past research, and many innovative ideas, there have been no recent studies to examine the effectiveness of online teaching across both studio based courses and theory based courses, which is the catalyst for the present paper.
