Class Components

No Lecture Sessions

For this online class, there will not be any regularly scheduled lecture sessions to present new materials.  All of the learning materials are available as modules in Canvas, so you can view the class materials online and work at your convenience.

Typical Learning Module Format

Each class module is broken into a series of submodules that focus on a specific topic.  In each of these submodules, you’ll find:

• Workflow -- a slide presentation showing the overall workflow for this topic.
• Demo -- a screen recording demonstrating the skills outlined in the workflow.
• Practice -- an optional exercise (typically 5 minutes) to give you an opportunity to practice what you’ve just learned.
• Check-In -- a few discussion questions to reinforce the key points in the module.

Design Projects

Each class module has a design project that gives you an opportunity to use your building modeling skills to develop and share a proposed design to meet the requirements of a realistic project.

Weekly Check-In Sessions

We’ll have an online check-in session every week.  These sessions will be recorded and available to view later if you cannot attend the live session.
