About the CALVisual Project

The project's main aim was to make effective use of image archives as teaching, learning and assessment instruments and to promote the wide use of these archives. It exploited the existing construction image archives of Loughborough University, De Montfort University, University of Westminster, University of the West England, and Carillion Professional Services. It built on Computer Aided Learning (CAL) developments at Loughborough University as well as existing skills, methods and a computer based construction process simulation learning pack. The project leader was Dr N Bouchlaghem, Civil and Building Engineering, Loughborough University.
