“…Researchers have also identified best practices/procedures implemented in construction-specific courses to enhance student learning [18,19]. Researchers have also depicted how new content areas (such as Sustainability, Building Performance, and Building Information Modeling) can be implemented using the OLE [20][21][22]. Thus, one can argue that educators in the construction programs across the US were familiar with the OLE to a certain degree.…”

“…Numerous benefits, such as the convenience to the learner and educator (Arbaugh, 2000;NEA, 2001;Shea et al, 2005), economics and scalability (Deming et al, 2015), increased higher education access (NEA, 2001), and higher levels of student learning (NEA, 2000, Shea et al, 2001, and others could be attributed to the success of online education. Even within the AEC education, numerous researchers have depicted how online education can be delivered effectively (Gao et al, 2009;May and Brady, 2003;Ahmed et al, 2016;Kelting et al, 2016;Xie et al, 2006). At the same time, online content development and delivery can prove to be challenging for instructors, especially with the pandemic.…”

“…In the US, this transition occurred in March or April 2020 (Langar et al, 2022a). Pre-pandemic researchers described how online construction education can be delivered effectively and successfully (Ahmed et al, 2016;Kelting et al, 2016). Some construction programs were already delivering construction courses via OLE.…”
