Fresh Brew: The Human Aspects of Collaboration Technologies (1.5 LUs)
COVID-19 has been acting as an awareness and transformation accelerator towards short-term and hopefully longer terms ways of working.
Join us for this special edition of “Fresh Brew: Virtual Design Hour” as we feature two top scholars whose work embodies what effective collaboration with technology means in building projects as it relates to the human aspect of collaboration. Note: This is a live interactive Zoom meeting; all registrants will have the opportunity to participate in breakout sessions and engage with the speakers. Limited to 80 participants.

Dr. Renate FruchterFounding Director, Project Based Learning Laboratory, Civil and Environmental Engineering Department, Stanford University
Dr. Fruchter is the founding director of the Project Based Learning Laboratory (PBL Lab) in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department, at Stanford University. Her R&D focuses on collaboration technologies in support of cross-disciplinary, geographically distributed teamwork in education and corporate settings. She studies the relation between technology-people-place-process. She is a designer of interactive learning- and work-spaces, and studies the impact of technology on learning, engagement, knowledge work productivity, emergent work practices and processes, team dynamics, and assessment. Her latest research focuses on harmonizing occupant well-being and building sustainable performance developing analytics using IoT building, biometric and psycho-physiological data. She is the developer of the innovative “Architecture, Engineering, Construction Global Teamwork” course launched in 1993 engaging university and industry partners worldwide.
