Beyond BIM - A Classroom Approach To Virtual Design Education

Abstract

The 21st century Education has gradually grown into an environment or field of communication that has broken the edge of limitations to information dissemination. Virtual spaces have become an extremely important part of our educational system that has contributed to a broader view to issues and solutions. Because these virtual worlds can easily be customized and personalized, an interesting and interactive environment is created for more richness in classroom interactions between individuals that have never met face to face, thus breaking the boundaries of cultural limitations in learning and introducing dynamism and broadness to different fields of study.
