Our idea within the Erasmus+ project is to create a learning and teaching format that is easy to implement and copy. We will be very happy if the idea of the digital competition is liked and continued. We invite all interested parties to participate in the DIGITAL DECATHLON. For this purpose, we will make available the learning materials and documents that we have developed.
The documents provided here summarise the key milestones, activities and achievements of the DIGITAL DECATHLON project and the event organisation. The attached documents are management tools and essential for the realisation of the project. They served as control mechanisms to ensure the smooth running of the project and may be used for the continuation of the project.
WP 1The quality of the learning path was an important aspect of the project to ensure the excellence of the teaching and learning project. The specific aim was to evaluate the methods and content used in the competition. Whether the knowledge is received by the students and whether the methods are the right ones are crucial questions that were analysed as part of the project. Here we present both the questionnaires and the results and summarise the evaluations carried out.
WP2-aOne of the main goals of the project was to provide knowledge in the field of digital 3D model-based planning, in particular the Building Information Modelling (BIM) method. We wanted to create an offer for an easy and motivating introduction to the digital planning method. Here you can download the tasks and corresponding learning material used in the project.
The events are described in detail on our project website, in particular on the ‘Events’ subpage. At this point, we would like to make the work developed and presented by the students during these events available for downloading
WP3-aThe Erasmus+ project has been reported and published in a variety of ways. At professional conferences and meetings, in academic papers, on the websites of the project partner universities and in the regional press, professional magazines and journals. Below is a list of publications:
