Description:

The following learning is designed to introducing and practicing with BIM-based software for Advance Mass Modeling. This is done through out-of-class, in-class, online-supervision, and peer-feedback by students and the teacher.

Intended Learning Outcomes:

Perform a building design project using Building Information Modeling (BIM)-based tools
Create a Building Information Modeling (BIM) mass model and export analytical models to engineering computation, simulation, or any analytical applications

Resources		Tasks		Supports
Before class (out-of-class)
Online tutorials, e.g. on www.youtube.com	→	Students install, and get familiar with the task and introduced toolkit that are going to be used. ↓	←	Upload instructions on the modeling task, objectives, and the required tools, which are going to be applied.
None		Students perform small tasks on getting started with the software ↓	←	Teacher organizes an online session giving instruction on small tasks.

In-class (face-to-face or synchronous online)
Short videos on similar performed tasks.	→	Students perform the tasks and assignments. ↓	←	Teacher sets individual assignments, and guide during group discussions by asking additional questions.

Online supervision (out-of-class)
Brightspace discussion forum	→	Students present the modeling assignments. ↓	←	Students are provided with a peer feedback by students.
Zoom via Brightspace		Students present the modeling assignments. ↓	←	Students are provided with a teacher feedback.
Brightspace discussion forum		Students present the modeling assignments. ↓	←	Students are provided with a peer feedback by students.

After class (out-of-class)
Brightspace	→	Students write a summary beside their developed models and upload it. ↓	←	Teacher reads, evaluate, and gives feedback.
Brightspace discussion forum		Students reflect on the received evaluation outcome form the teacher.	←	Students are provided with a peer feedback by students.
Students read, discuss, and contemplate the feedback received from the teacher.

Additional information

The in-class session contains 3*45 minutes. Students receive general instruction on the assignment (15 minutes). They receive an example and instruction on the used software (30 minutes). Hereafter students work individually to develop their models and to include the level of details that are needed to provide (45 minutes). Each student takes turns presenting the model that he/she has developed ensuring it contains the required level of details, and challenges they have faced. (45 minutes).
