EDUCATION IN ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN USING MICROLEARNING IN VLE

Summary/Abstract: Since 2020, during the Covid-19 Pandemic, educational methods have been the primary concern of teachers. The problem related to the interaction between teacher and student in the continuity of the instructional persists. Thus, distance learning has contributed to developing several educational scenarios through which students could rapidly be stimulated to learn using digital applications and platforms. These platforms facilitate powerful learning methods, such as microlearning and e-Learning, that allows to the same extent, both students and teachers to be more involved in the teaching and learning process. Encouraging students to accumulate information during the working process using these digital platforms produces more engagement, improves performance, and increases motivation. The research process of this topic began by studying alternative e-Learning solutions directed to online 3D platforms. This paper proposes an implementation of a modern learning solution with the help of a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) that we called "Micro-StudiED", implemented on the Mozilla Hubs 3D online platform, designed for the use of Master Environmental Design students and teachers from the National University of Arts (UNA Bucharest). VLE includes a series of micro-spaces created for each theme, which hosts information/documentation related to the semestrial projects, the stages of the students' assignments and the virtual exhibition at the end of the semester. The paper aims to present in detail the implementation and use of the VLE as a pedagogical tool for learning and for evaluating the artworks of the master students.
