The Use of eLearning in Teaching Construction Management Core Subjects

All students – Architecture, Civil Engineering and Construction Management BSc students, both full and part-time – of Szent István University's Ybl Miklós Faculty of Architecture and Civil Engineering have to take construction management subjects in the third year. In Construction Management 1 students get acquainted with the basics of construction projects and cost calculations, while in the next semester the topic is scheduling. The courses are created according to a blended learning model, where face-to-face teaching and elearning are combined. The former is provided in the form of lectures and recitations (integrated with computer lab sessions), while the latter is facilitated by the university's moodle-based elearning system.In this paper, the blended nature of the construction management courses is discussed. Moreover, the new study materials developed within the framework of the New Széchenyi Plan and co-funded by the European Social Fund provide opportunities for further improvement, which are also presented.
