OIKONET

Since October 2013, OIKODOMOS continues its activities within the OIKONET project funded by the Life Long Learning Programme. The goal of the new project, which involves 34 institutions from Europe and around the world, is to interlink pedagogical activities, research on housing studies and community participation through a joint programme of activities including workshops, seminars and conferences. The OIKONET pedagogic activities are carried out with the OIKODOMOS Virtual Campus tools: Workspaces, Case Repository and Oikopedia.

Platform

A digital platform has been specifically developed and implemented for the OIKODMOS Virtual Campus to support a blended-learning pedagogical model. It consists of three environments: Workspaces, Case Repository and OIKOpedia.

OIKODOMOS WORKSPACES

This environment supports project-based learning activities, such as the development of a project -architectural and/or urban- in a collaborative manner. It facilitates the collaboration among distant learners, carrying joint learning activities in different settings, physical and virtual: design studios, seminars and courses.

OIKODOMOS CASE REPOSITORY

This is a digital repository of housing case studies, which is constructed collaboratively by learners. Currently, it has over 330 documented cases, analyzed and commented by students and teachers from different institutions. It is used to support learning based on the analysis of precedents.

OIKOPEDIA

This is the knowledge base of the OIKODOMOS project. It contains the topics and concepts studied in the OIKODOMOS Virtual Campus. Each entry is made of the description of the concepts, cases of study which illustrate it, comments by readers, and references. The entries are in multiple languages.
