CHOBE Grant 2025
New for 2025, CHOBE is supporting a Community of Practice focused on AI in Education. The aim is to explore how AI can be integrated into learning, teaching and assessment practices, particularly within the construction, surveying and real estate disciplines
This is a small project that is attracting funding of £1,500 and will conclude with a short report and 2 webinars.
Following a call for proposals we are delighted to be supporting Northumbria University and the University of the West of England working collaboratively. The primary goal of their research project is to establish a series of best practice case studies demonstrating the application of AI as an ‘assistive technology’ in Built Environment Higher Education.
CHOBE Grants 2024
CHOBE supported 4 invites for Special Interest Groups (SIGs) for 2024. The purpose of this is to carry out small, targeted research into specific themes facing Built Environment educators. Each group is led by an expert in that particular field who is working in association with a number of interested academics to discuss and identify different forms of innovation and good practice. These are small projects, but offer the opportunity to focus on a specific issue relating to learning and teaching in the built environment and disseminate messages in a collaborative and supportive context. Each project received £2500.
