Since June 1998, HBP has embarked on an aggressive program to incorporate IT into teaching and learning. In particular, web-based technology is extensively used.
Here are some highlights:
| Feedback Site - Students have a chance to express their views about teaching methods and content. Lecturers in turn have the opportunity to defend or elaborate on their methods and respond to the views in a positive manner. |
| HBP Forum - Students take part in an discussion in an electronic forum after having carried out their research. Research have shown that students who are non-responsive in class discussion are willing to express themselves when on-line. The discussion culminates in a written submission in web-format. |
| HBP Review or ArchiClub - Students' projects have been compiled into both multimedia and hardcopy. A web-version is also available. The project extends students' creativity "beyond the classroom". |
| IT Support - Students, through their coursework, have produced numerous homepage and even databases which are made available for download. Students in future can further develop and enhance the products. |
| Land Administration - Students research their assignments on land-related court cases and submitted their assignments by FTP. These write-ups have in turn become a resource for the entire web community. |
| CAD - Learn AutoCad on the Web. |
| Naser's Lectures - Lecture notes previously prepared with PowerPoint have been converted into web-based lecture notes. Includes revision notes. |
| Light Weight Concrete - Based on original research, the site provides up-to-date teaching materials on the subject. |
| Methods - Apart from lecture notes, you can access past exam questions as well as notes and abstracts on research and quantitative methods. |
| Database-driven Web - Learn how to create a database-driven web site ... on the web of course! |
| Convert PowerPoint to Web-based Presentation - Professor Ghani's Public Lecture using PowerPoint was converted to a web-based presentation. The site teaches you how to re-create such a website. |
| Measured Drawings - Measured drawing concerns meticulous recording of the architectural details of buildings of historic or architectural interest. See conservation at work here. |
These are only some of the highlights. An up-to-date list can be obtained in the Virtual Learning @ HBP section.
