Innovation in building design and construction depends on innovative strategies being developed by teachers and practitioners; made available to students and then professionally adopted. Successful transfer of this knowledge relies on appropriate support for both students and academics to ensure the new knowledge is translated into a format appropriate to the learners current state of understanding; often using a constructivist; student-centred learning approach.This special issue of the journal Architectural Engineering and Design Management examines new strategies to manage effectively a growing number of students and a changing student profile in the built environment sector. Written by international experts in the field; core themes covered include student-centred learning; practice-based learning; good practice and evaluation; and instructional systems design. Several papers are devoted to virtual learning; focusing on e-pedagogy; standardisation; bridging the gap between academia and industry; and virtual learning environments.This peer-reviewed publication will be invaluable reading for lecturers and students on architecture and civil engineering courses; professional architects and engineers; and all interested in TL; continuing professional development and distance learning in the built environment sector.
