Abstract
The Seeing and Touching Structural Concepts website was developed in 2006 (www.structuralconcepts.org ) and has been used since then in conjunction with Blackboard as a student-centred learning resource for enhancing student understanding of structural concepts through physical model demonstrations and practical examples to supplement current class learning. After studying the contents of the website, students are required to undertake individual pieces of coursework either making/showing a physical model to demonstrate one structural concept or identifying a practical example in which one concept was used in a creative way. The combined coursework submissions form a further resource which is made available to all students allowing them to learn from each other. The feedback from students has been very encouraging. The website may be used by students and lecturers in Civil Engineering and Architecture
