Collaborative Research: Innovative Learning Styles and Universal Access for Geotechnical Engineering Education

工程-土木工程(54)通过这个项目，学生们正在制作岩土工程原理和主题的短片演示。正在为不同学习风格的个人开发这些单元，并考虑到残疾学生普遍无障碍的问题。这些视频片段可以通过播客或视频MP3播放器等对学生友好的技术获得。学生们正在将传统的学习方式转变为非传统的学习模式，广泛而专业地使用电子技术，设计和开发实验，并具有通用设计的意识。通过开发视频剪辑的工作，学生们加深了他们对技术概念的理解，提高了他们在团队中的沟通和工作能力，并扩大了他们对有关残疾人普遍无障碍的问题的理解。该项目采用的灵活设计便于适应其他学科、其他大学和其他学生群体。正在制定和广泛传播使用这一教学方法的最佳做法准则。

Engineering - Civil (54)Through this project, students are developing short video demonstrations of principles and topics in geotechnical engineering. The modules are being developed for individuals with different learning styles and are taking into account issues in universal access for students with disabilities. The video clips are available through student-friendly technologies such as podcasts or video MP3 players. The students are adopting their traditional learning styles to unconventional learning modes with extensive and expert use of electronic technologies, design and development of experiments, and awareness of universal design. Through their work in developing the videos clips, students are deepening their understanding of technical concepts, improving their ability to communicate and work on teams, and broadening their understanding of issues surrounding universal access for individuals with disabilities. The flexible design employed in this project facilitates adaptation to other subjects, other universities, and other student populations. Best practices guidelines for using this teaching methodology are being developed and widely disseminated.
