In today’s changing world, online learning has become the new normal. Construction educators are adapting, in innovative ways to support their students’ learning journeys in virtual classrooms, with strategies including adopting collaborative software, streamlining communication with students, and keeping an eye toward the future by following the latest technology trends and updates.
Autodesk is invested in developing the next generation of construction professionals and setting them up for success as the industry continues to evolve. As part of this investment, Autodesk recently organized the first virtual live event for construction educators in the U.S. and EMEA. The Digital Construction Summer School is a live event experience where we introduced educators to the Autodesk Construction Cloud, including guest presentations by leading Autodesk customers such as Clayco, KEO, BAM, Dura Vermeer, and construction faculty sharing best practices on successfully integrating this platform into their curriculum using digital collaboration tools to support learning outcomes.
If you missed the event, don’t worry! We have curated the top sessions you should watch, from specialization tracks (preconstruction, site execution, etc.) to the Autodesk Construction Cloud fundamentals videos. Find everything you need to learn from educators and leading construction firms below:
