Digital Innovation and Interactive Technologies

Abstract

Is digital innovation helping towards achieving a higher level of education or not? Since the impact of technologies is affecting more of our society, it is also true that its use in education is still limited, even in university education, where it could have the real added value of experimenting with new approaches to didactics. Within this context, the chapter briefly presents digital innovation and the enabling technologies currently in use that are also producing new opportunities for the architectural, engineering, construction, and operation (AECO) sector. Furthermore, the chapter provides two examples of master and bachelor courses related to BIM and algorithmic parametric modelling that integrates several tools and technologies, such as cloud-computing, big data, and machine learning to add value to harnessing technologies so that digital innovation could truly improve the efficiency of the AECO sector.
