About the VIBE for Construction and the Built Environment
"Using the VIBE over the past two academic years has had an extremely positive effect upon the understanding and learning of brickwork and the various health and safety requirements of the course.
The ability to create the required outcomes and different bonds on the screen, using different types of bricks has allowed the students to practise before their practical. Also the ease of use by incorporating games technology has allowed the students to access the software.
In the cold spell we had recently, where the sand was frozen, we used the VIBE to good effect by creating a series of walls and screen grabbing the outcome to incorporate into our coursework.
Overall, this software has enhanced my delivery of Construction and the Built Environment to students of all abilities, as the realistic user friendly nature of the software (gaming controls) allows the students to immediately create and enjoy the tasks at hand."
