While many applications are being produced, they are generally contents-oriented. These contents are of crucial importance because without them, no teaching can be carried out. However, development of applications that can be used to manage these contents is less seen. We feel that both the contents and a content-management system are important and they are complementary to each other. It is extremely difficulty to explain construction processes and details with traditional methods.
Students find it difficult to visualise the construction processes such as concreting.
We used to organize site visits so that students can feel what a construction site is like. Construction companies are becoming less willing to let students visit due to various reasons, including safety, insurance, bad practices and so on. Advancement in technology, e.g. digital video and video streaming, has brought about change. Instead of taking students to construction sites, we bring construction sites to students using information technology. In our situation, at least 260 students can directly benefit from this project.
