Summary of the Project
The project has been developing and sustaining the Digital Exhibition platform for the Department of Built Environment at TU/e. Recognizing the need for effective knowledge sharing and visibility of student work, this initiative aims to create an accessible online space where students, teachers, and external visitors can access and learn from exemplary student projects. Initially funded in 2020, the project has already demonstrated significant interest and positive feedback from students, teachers, and industry partners. By making exemplary student work available online, the platform fosters knowledge sharing, encourages student engagement, and enhances the visibility of the faculty's educational achievements. The platform will allow students to share their visual outputs, fostering interaction and knowledge exchange. By overcoming the limitations of physical exhibitions, the Digital Exhibition provides a sustainable and scalable solution for showcasing student work online.
Aim of the Project
The primary aim of this project has been to exhibit students’ work digitally and effectively, enhancing knowledge sharing and encouraging students to take pride in their work. By creating a digital exhibition platform, the project seeks to provide students with a broader audience for their projects, increasing their motivation and engagement. The platform will help students understand the value of their work, inspire them to learn from peers, and challenge them to improve. Additionally, it will facilitate cooperation among teachers and provide a clear overview of the curriculum to new and prospective students. The expected outcomes include fostering cooperation between teachers, providing insights into the curriculum for prospective and international students, and making the platform accessible to a wide range of visitors. The project’s success will be measured by the platform’s ability to host a wide range of student work, facilitate knowledge exchange, and maintain sustainability through regular updates. This initiative aims to create a lasting impact by integrating digital exhibitions into the academic culture, promoting continuous learning, and expanding the reach of the faculty's work.
Sustainable & scalable project
This platform will be easily accessible by a wide range of visitors (students, different faculties, institutions, students, and academicians) and has the potential to host a wide range of students’ work spanning many years.
Results and learnings
Building on the success of the first pilot, the platform has grown to include more courses and projects, ensuring a broader representation of student work. The Digital Exhibition platform is accessible to everyone online:
To complement the online platform, a physical kiosk has been installed on the first floor of the Vertigo building at the entrance of our faculty. This kiosk features a touch screen, allowing students, teachers, and visitors to easily browse the Digital Exhibition and explore the diverse range of student projects on the large display.
The Digital Exhibition project has received enthusiastic feedback from both students and faculty. Students are motivated and happy to see their work showcased, as well as to explore the projects of their peers. Teachers appreciate the opportunity to reflect on and share the outcomes of their courses. Building on this positive response, efforts are underway to expand the platform by including more courses and projects. Additionally, the focus is on developing sustainable and efficient methods for exhibiting and archiving these projects to ensure their long-term accessibility and impact.
