Last week, the Open GLASSroom team gathered at the University of Rijeka (Sveuฤiliลกte u Rijeci) for our 11th Consortium Meetingโa dynamic two-day event full of collaboration, reflection, and innovation in glass education.
๐ ๏ธ Day 1: Project Progress & Perspectives
Our first day focused on reviewing current developments and mapping out whatโs ahead. Key highlights included:
-
๐น Publishing a new collection of Open Educational Resource (OER) videos
-
๐ Strategies for integrating OER into academic curricula
-
๐ Laying the groundwork for an online course on Glass Design & Engineering
We also visited the impressive Laboratory of Structural Engineering at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, where we had the pleasure of hearing from Nebojลกa Buljan. His talk on non-planar architectural envelopes, drawing from his experience at Permasteelisa Group, sparked engaging discussions on design challenges in contemporary glass architecture.
๐ฉโ๐ซ Day 2: Workshop & Student Engagement
On the second day, we shifted focus to hands-on learning. Our workshop welcomed over 30 students and staff who tackled group challenges involving:
-
Exploring OER content
-
Navigating the edusources platform
-
Reviewing and giving feedback on our video materials
The results? Insightful inputโand our content passed the test with flying colours! We wrapped up with a lively interactive quiz that brought a fun, competitive edge to the day.
๐ Thank You & Next Steps
Huge thanks to our wonderful hosts Adriana Bjelanoviฤ and Nebojลกa Buljan, and to all who participated for their enthusiasm and thoughtful contributions.
