Modifying traditional chronological and lecture-based delivery, a History and Theory of Interior Environments course embraces technology as a vehicle for expressing and transmitting information. A hybrid paradigm of virtual and physical experiences ensures meaningful learning through multimodal means of expression to help students better understand how design history and theory influences the built environment. This active means of delivery and feedback has the potential for attracting and informing students of various interests and learning styles, while making history relevant by engaging enthusiasm for technology.
