“…Recognizably, when used in the classroom, students can be physically present during the generation of point clouds and be subsequently provided with the corresponding results in plain text formats. 3D model learning environments are potential paradigm shifters in teaching and learning process [29]. TLS emerges as one of the technological devices that bring real 3D information from the site to a virtual space that can benefit also civil engineering classrooms.…”

This paper depicts a case study that shows an open-source Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS) for use on the virtualization of simple yet precise geometrical entities in AEC classrooms. For bringing this technology to AEC classrooms, an open-source TLS was developed. The physical model was built using digital fabrication, its connectivity was established using accessible, affordable, opensource sensors and actuators and its digital representation was developed using generative design tools. All elements together are synchronized in realtime and the TLS becomes live, digitally twinned, geometry generator. The points that are generated by the TLS are gathered in a 3D virtual space in the form of virtual points. The present digitally twinned vision of laser scanning has thus three identified educational uses: (i) illustration of the measuring principle using open-source hardware together with mathematics and statistics, (ii) illustration of the generation and visualization of point clouds in realtime within a CAD environment, and (iii) perhaps with a vaster scope in AEC classrooms, illustration of the usage, analysis and identification of these point clouds. The development of this tool belongs to a vaster project for infusing Construction 4.0 technologies in AEC classrooms under development at the School of Civil Engineering of UPC-BarcelonaTech. The illustration to students of all these concepts with accessible technological tools is expected to enlarge their vision of more advanced constructional technologies such as cyber-physical systems for monitoring and surveying as well as digital technologies for reproducing "As-Built" models.

“…The authors claim that 3D virtual environments provide a sense of presence to students, giving them an experience that other 2D media cannot. According to [Meadati and Akhnoukh 2021], students have distinct learning styles, and 3D environments offer an interactive 3D view, making students engaged and keep them focused on their learning development.…”

Although efficient process management is a factor that impacts the competitiveness of organizations, undergraduate students entering the employment market still have difficulties to understand and perform functions related to BPM, which indicates obstacles in teaching and learning these concepts. Using innovative approaches such as 3D environments can bring pedagogical resources to complement BPM training. This work performs a systematic literature review to investigate approaches using 3D environments in BPM courses and training to find their impact on learning and teaching. Studies suggest that 3D environments can positively affect the BPM teaching and learning process and impact student motivation, keeping them connected to the study material.
