  1. Brown, Shane (Ed.)
    As a precursor to designing the ConPEC platform for stronger industry-academia collaborations, we investigated factors which instructors would consider when collaborating with practitioners to complement their pedagogical efforts. We found that instructors' considerations were influenced by students' preferences and bias, students' career and development, student learning outcomes, curriculum structure, as well as ethnic and gender diversity. Findings inform input for the design of web-based collaborative networks. Also, this study contributes to expanding literature on industry-academia collaborations for workforce development.

    We designed and developed our web platform, ConPEC, to bridge the gap between instructors and practitioners in the construction industry. Subsequently, we recruited 20 construction instructors to interact with the ConPEC platform for evaluation purposes. Results showed the potential for ConPEC to enhance academic pedagogy by providing instructors with improved access to practitioners and fostering a blend of theory and practical knowledge needed in industry. Users perceived ConPEC as useful, user-friendly, and likely to be adopted.
