EnergyPlus: Topic XX

Description:

This learning design is intended for lectures that teach different topics in EnergyPlus (A building simulation software).

The pedagogical approach is a flipped class room and the intention is to move all theory and software instructions to individual activities before class. The ressources to understand theory will mainly be text materials while screencasts will show software instructions. Before each lecture two quizzes must be answered to test conceptual understanding and correct use of software. The quiz results provides feedback to the teacher and topics causing problems will be reviewed in the lecture. Most of the lecture (In-class) will be used for practical excercises with support from the teacher and/or a PhD student instructor. A small additional excercise that builds on top of the In-class excercise will be released after class to support individual reflection on the topic.
