This week we will start to work on improving the existing specifications using eSpec software. Describe your experiences. How do you best learn new software?
The OpenLab is an open-source, digital platform designed to support teaching and learning at City Tech (New York City College of Technology), and to promote student and faculty engagement in the intellectual and social life of the college community.
I open E-Specs for the first time and I look through what needs to be done as far as what group i’m in. Since this is a new program it’s kinda confusing how to work with it. Although, the best way I can learn is by asking questions to those who are familiar with it and looking for tutorials online. Since it’s a new program i don’t really know how easy it is to find tutorials but I know there has to be something out there. That is generally how i learn to begin to use a new software I was introduced.
Especs is a new program for me like for most of us. I was able to open up the program and play around with it, I think it makes sense for us to have this program as it extracts information from the revitalize model itself rather than searching for it. I think I am comfortable working with specs the original way but am open to more information and programming. Hopefully I will be able to get a grasp on this program so that it could further develop the specificactions.
The best way I learn is if an instructor goes throughly over a program and allows for me to do hands on practice in their presence so that I can get an idea of what I’m doing. Sometimes depending on the topic, I prefer to experience things by visually seeing something presented or done. After that, I try to use sample as my guideline so that I know in which direction I should move in.
