Architectural Walk-through

Mosque

Students navigated a mosque complex using a floor plan, and could inspect photographs of each important feature. Students were able to zoom in on photographs for more detail, view annotations with important architectural terms and features, and look up terms in the course's audio glossary. These tools helped students learn the terminology and features of mosque architecture in the context of a mosque that was studied in the course. The walkthrough was integrated into the course iSite.
