The authors, both university faculty in construction management programs, desired to use available resources to develop new material for students. The authors' goal was simply to create a substitute for a traditional textbook with digital content that offers a unique way for students to visualize and learn new concepts. While student engagement is a critical component of the process, it is ultimately a means to the goals of understanding content, long-term retention, and deeper learning. Matching student preferences and expectations is a helpful way to get there, but one of the educator's roles is to thoughtfully curate the materials to be used. Finding what works best in teaching and learning context and implementing some novel approaches, even if in small steps at first, has the potential to engage students at a deeper level, enhance classroom time, and lead to better learning outcomes.
