The VCS4 was designed to engage students in active learning by simulating the planning, development, and management of construction schedules and projects. The game was developed to engage freshman-level students in their early learning of construction planning by building a wood pavilion. Dr. Fadi Castronovo assessed and evaluated the impact of VCS4 using quantitative and qualitative experimental methodologies.
