Dialogue Between Research Solar Practices and Training Activities: Interactive Webinar by Integration of ICT in Education
Abstract
In order to stimulate a discussion on the important role of solar energy in buildings and to promote two-way exchange of knowledge, from research to public and from public to research an interactive Webinar using ICT in education, an event for students, architects and professionals has been organized in the context of the European research project ConstructPV and the bachelor course of Architecture of SUPSI. The purpose of this innovative and interactive Webinar has been to combine the traditional method of a frontal live conference with computer-mediated activities in "blended learning” allowing the interaction with remote participants of other institutions and other learning environments for a new e-learning concept. The main impact on using these real-time tools has been to stimulate and encourage the participation and, in turn, also to gather useful feedback for the research project by making a direct survey on some key-topics, as well as to increase effectiveness in knowledge transfer
