Virtual Learning in the Undergraduate Architecture Studio

For the past two academic years; 2003/4 and 2004/5 at the University of Strathclyde the second year studio has been involved in a project that has involved the use of Virtual Learning as part of the design process. This report discusses the effect and use of Virtual Learning Environments (VLE) in the studio by both students and staff over a two-year period. It compares the year two studios in 2003-4 and 2004-5 which both had VLE-based studio projects that each ran slightly differently. This is an ongoing project which will continue to be developed further in Strathclyde Architecture School's studio culture.
