| الملخص: | Final report of a National Teaching Development Grant at The University of Melbourne. This project developed the teaching potential of a 4D relational database called Simulated Site Visits (SSV). It aimed to assist architecture and building students make sense of activities on construction sites and to develop their knowledge so they can undertake independent site visits. SSV was begun with the financial support of a 1997 Committee for the Advancement of University Teaching (CAUT) grant. Using a 4D Oracle relational database, SSV allows students to undertake virtual site visits to buildings under construction on different site visit dates, clicking on icons to look at photos, drawings or a range of other resources. The complexity of this 4D landscape risks students getting lost in both space and time, so the Pathways project sought to give students a range of support tools to help them structure and focus their visits into SSV.
