Motivation

Studentsdifficulty in visualizing the main

aspects of behaviour, design and detailingof structures



8/20

Purpose

To improve the teaching and learning

systems of our graduate programs with

computacional resources

Computers are daily life tool of college

students

They can be in touch with internet resourcesall the time and everywhere by computers,

tablets and mobiles

Methodology

(1/4)

97 Civil Engineering students and 30Architectural students had complete

access to the website The VLE system architecture allowed to

control of all information about students:

Users identification

User performed task

Reports about particular access to thewebsite

Future

How does ConcWeb affects the students

performance in reinforced concretedesign courses


Another investigation

Future

The research consists of a comparative

study between two groups of students: a

control group and an experimental one The comparison is based on the quantitative

analysis of the answers of three exactly

equal written exams taken by students of

both groups. For the quantitative analysis,the Rasch model and a longitudinal multilevel

study procedure are being used
