Online Learning Platforms

Archistar
Archistar is a comprehensive set of architectural software tutorials – mostly focused on architectural software and practices – for staff and students to use. Tutorials are short and much more focused than the resources on Lynda.com, with the added bonus of being Australian content that uses the metric system (as opposed to US and imperial).

Staff and students can self-enrol using their Monash email address.
