Studio


 * problem statement * grading criteria * learning outcomes * known shortcomings of online offering of studio in past * similar online success * cbb in in-person studio


 * meeting frequency - questions between sessions
 * think time - not good at reply on the spot - language, shy, just need time to process, research, think
 * reference / instructions - tracking review * look-up discuss * students research * better
 * smaller steps * grading individual elements * eg. selfies at site > scale

 * reflection - deep learning
 * student expectations > assessment
 * introductions - prompts > better sharing interests personalize
 * audience - issues

engineering design process - ask imagine plan create improve
 * epic fail - failure is an option
 * spatial visualization - Purdue
 * inspiration resources research

communication, critical thinking, organization
 * discussions require reading and writing practice
 * questions answers formulated and communicated

instructor, facilitator
 * specific requirements to get learning outcome

2019.6.4 The program overall looks like a great option / alternative to other programs.

Is there any interest in having online studios if they could work to your satisfaction? Would the program attract more students if it was entirely online? Are there students who only take the online courses who can't / don't take the in-person studio courses?

How many credit / contact hours are in a studio course? How often do you meet? How long are each session?

Does anyone offer condensed in-person studio courses? Week long residential intensive, for example?

What percentage of the students in your studio courses are not native English speakers?

If the objective is to get more work-ready registered architects, providing anytime anywhere access to the entire program goes a long way in today's world. I think it is doable. Although the structure might be different, the outcomes would be the same. The online format requires a lot of student responsibility for their learning, resourcefulness and time management - things you want them to have in the end. Online learning makes us as educators think about how to support students with technology to achieve the outcomes necessary to successfully practice architecture throughout their careers. Worth seriously considering ...
