There been visible rise, especially usage following tools: MS Teams, Zoom, Google Classroom. most frequently used have mainly videoconferencing such as Teams Zoom. However, also platforms e-mails. identified three hidden factors (categories) tools. They include categories: popular services applications adapted to e-learning; for synchronous meetings other asynchronous methods. familiarity information technology, well an interest tools, positive ease acquiring content e-learning. Having proper resources positively influences absorption content. On basis achieved results, authors prepared model relations between students' technology they possess participate classes. This enables us assess which method—e-learning, traditional or hybrid—should be given situation. developed can useful universities. technologies their level technical using questionnaires divide into groups prepare optimal learning way—e-learning, hybrid.

Three-dimensional Cementitious materials Printing (3DCP) is a cutting-edge technology for the construction industry. printed buildings have shown that well-developed automated can foster valuable benefits, such as freeform architectural design without formworks and reduced human intervention. However, scalability, commercialization sustainability of 3DPC remain critical issues. The current work presents ecological fragility, challenges opportunities inherent in decreasing 3DCP environmental footprint at material level (cementitious aggregates). very demanding performance printable mixtures, namely fresh state, requires high dosages cement supplementary cementitious (SCM). Besides heavy carbon production, standard SCM availability might be an issue, especially longer term. One exciting option to decrease embodied CO2 is, example, incorporate alternative locally available partial replacements. Those wastes or by-products from industries agriculture, with no added value. Moreover, replacement natural aggregate also bring advantages resource preservation. This has highlighted enormous potential contribute reducing dependence on Portland manage colossal value, shifting Circular Economy. Though LCA analysis, mixture revealed parameter impact elements buildings. Even though significantly affects 3DCP, it crucial achieving adequate properties rheology. From literature survey, mixtures formulated (wastes by-products) are still restricted rice husk ash, Municipal Solid Waste ashes recycled powder demolition wastes. Natural research been focused fine sand, mine tailing, copper iron ornamental stone waste, glass, crumb rubber, rubber granules, PET bottles steel slag. flowability loss mechanical strength critical. Research efforts needed find low-carbon replacements mix-design optimization, leading more sustainable circular while ensuring final product performance.
