iARCHI[TECH]TURE: HEUTAGOGICAL APPROACHES TO EDUCATION FACILITATED BY MLEARNING INTEGRATION

Thomas Cochrane and David Rhodes

This paper reflects upon two iterations of mlearning integration into the Bachelor of Architecture programme, and the implications for future integration. The 2010 Architecture mobile Web 2.0 project was informed by reflections upon a 2009 mlearning project instigated across the second year Bachelor of Architecture course at Unitec, involving 115 students and 6 lecturers. The Architecture mlearning projects were situated within an action research study spanning four years and seven different course contexts (or case studies) within the Faculty of Creative Industries and Business at Unitec, including: Architecture, Performing and Screen Arts, Landscape Design, Product Design, Contemporary Music, Computing and Information Systems, and Accountancy and Finance. The 2010 eCV Architecture mlearning project represents an action research cycle within the Architecture case study. The multiple projects provided opportunities for reflection and refinement with the earlier project results informing the design of subsequent projects.
