CIOB Built Environment Education Forum
CIOB Built Environment Education Forum
The Built Environment Education Forum is a virtual community for educators, researchers and professionals to connect, share ideas and discuss issues relating to built environment education.
Forum details
We are delighted to invite educators, researchers and professionals working across the built environment to join the virtual Built Environment Education Forum, a new opportunity to connect, collaborate and share ideas. Our ambition is to create a vibrant, supportive and engaging community of practice, bringing together colleagues from across construction, engineering, surveying, planning, architecture and related disciplines. The Forum will provide an informal virtual space to exchange good practice, explore emerging challenges, strengthen industry links and identify opportunities for collaboration that benefit both educators and learners.
We are now inviting expressions of interest from educators who would like to help shape and grow this community. As a starting point, we would love to bring together group of enthusiastic educators to launch the Forum virtually, share their perspectives and help establish priorities for future discussions. The Forum will meet online two times a year, virtually, with opportunities for members to propose topics, share experiences and develop collaborative initiatives between meetings.
Whether you have ideas to contribute, challenges to explore or simply want to connect with like-minded colleagues, we encourage you to sign up, get involved and help shape the future of built environment education.
Ideas to Kick-Start Our Virtual Forum:
- Innovative teaching and learning: Sharing approaches that work.
- AI and digital technologies: Opportunities and challenges for educators.
- Sustainability and net zero: Embedding sustainability into curricula.
- Employability and future skills: Preparing students for industry.
- Industry–education collaboration: Strengthening meaningful partnerships.
- Student engagement and experience: Exploring what motivates learners.
- Research and knowledge exchange: Identifying collaborative opportunities.
- Assessment and feedback: Sharing innovative and effective practice.
- Cross-disciplinary learning: Breaking down traditional subject boundaries.
- Our community of practice: What do members want from the Forum, and how can we make it valuable, relevant and sustainable?
