Abstract

The advent of COVID-19 has precipitated the adoption of online learning modalities, allowing educators to transition from conventional teaching methods to a blended learning approach. This study investigates the implementation of an interdisciplinary, project-based Building Information Modelling (BIM) course, delivered through a cloud-based flipped classroom model. A centralised portal was employed, facilitating the seamless integration of BIM-TV, cloud gaming, and BIM server. The results of this study underscore the potential of flipped classrooms that incorporate cloud technology into pedagogical strategies to enhance student engagement, active learning, and self-directed learning. This innovative methodology offers students and instructors a high degree of flexibility and accessibility, fostering active engagement, and facilitating personalised learning experiences through the utilisation of advanced digital educational tools. Leveraging blended learning, traditional BIM education can exploit the advantages of technology while maintaining the invaluable aspect of face-to-face interaction. © 2024 The owner/author(s).
