I always felt the need for more interactive way of studies, specially at university. Studying architecture sometimes, the pressure to do good was so intense, that instead of learning, risking and experimenting, students would opt for tried and tested methods. No one could risk their grades or percentages because marks mattered more to us than learning, and finding fun in learning was a far cry... Once an architect, mentioning his student life said that, "You might not learn that much from your teachers, as you will learn by competition among each other." That sort of competition drains energy and gives much stress and diverts focus from learning and applying the knowledge. That is so sad.
Passive learning is an asset. Practicality is more valuable than any degree, or grades. In real life, clients are not interested in your degree, grades or medals if you cannot deliver their projects and business efficiently.
Found this very interesting video, the use of intelligent glass, gadgets, devices and above all... strong interaction within the studio, active involvement of the teacher, and a very strong link with the ones working in field helped the students create something they all can celebrate after the work is done and cherish the lovely memories later in life. They were not competing each other but doing their bit in completing the assignment!
Future of teaching & learning
