  abstract = {This chapter discusses the use of technology in supporting the study
	of architecture and design in Higher Education. Digital (often open)
	educational architecture resources are widely spread throughout a
	number of repositories that do not interoperate with each other.
	This means that no single point of access or support for potential
	collaborative learning exists. The potential impact of these barriers
	on education in architecture, in terms of its availability as a series
	of digital objects through the Web, is strongly limited. The authors
	introduce Metadata for Architecture in Europe (MACE), a Web based
	support system for architecture education that has been designed
	as a means of creating a collective external memory of architecture
	content that reduces those barriers to knowledge-sharing in architecture.
	After introducing MACE, the chapter presents the results of an evaluation
	of the MACE system that was carried out in architectural design courses
	in four European universities by a total of around 200 students.
	Much of the analysis focuses on the collaborative learning aspects
	of the architectural design courses.},
