Knowledge Pills in Bachelor’s Degree in Architecture: The Case of Structural Design

Higher education has been profoundly transformed in recent times, mostly because of digitisation. This has led to conventional pedagogical approaches being modified to favour new tools and means. Knowledge pills are one of these new resources that are growing the most. This term refers to short videos used to transmit a specific content to a given audience. The authors of the present work put forward the first knowledge pill proposal drawn up for the Construction III subject in the Bachelor’s Degree in Fundamentals of Architecture (taught at the Valencia School of Architecture of the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV)). Firstly, the objective of this resource and the methodology to create it are defined. Secondly, the employed tool is presented to include interactive resources in knowledge pills so that the students who use them can interact while continuing with their training. This study also includes some examples of the devised resource and the first results obtained with it.
