Welcome . Bienvenidos

The Las Americas Virtual Design Studio is a collaborative teaching/learning experience. In such a context, a number of studios in different universities make the commitment of working in the same design subject and share the development of resulting projects through the Internet. The students work as usual within their studios under the direction of their local instructors. At the same time each student is assigned to an international virtual studio made out of students of different universities under the advisory of several virtual instructors. The roster of virtual instructors is made out of the instructors of all participating studios and a number of volunteer reviewers who do not have students at their particular location.

El Taller Virtual de Las Américas es una experiencia pedagógica colaborativa. En tal contexto, un número variable de talleres en diferentes universidades se comprometen a trabajar en el mismo tema de diseño y compartir el desarrollo de dichos proyectos mediante la Internet. Los alumnos trabajan normalmente al interior de sus talleres bajo la tutela de sus instructores locales. Al mismo tiempo cada alumno será asignado a un taller virtual internacional conformado por alumnos de diferentes escuelas asistidos por varios instructores virtual. La nomina de instructores virtuales está conformada por los instructores de talleres participantes e instructores voluntarios quienes no necesariamente cuentan con un grupo de estudiantes locales.
