• The objective of this paper is to present a critical literature review of the Building Information Modelling (BIM)methodology and to analyze whether BIM can be considered a Virtual Learning Environment. A conceptual framework isproposed for using BIM in a university context. A search of documents was carried out in the Core Collection of Web ofScience; it was restricted to the last five years (2013–2017). A total of 95 documents were analyzed; all documents werewritten in English and peer reviewed. BIM meets all the characteristics of Virtual Learning Environments. The proposedframework has three dimensions (competencies, pedagogical approach and level of integration). It allows for the planningand analysis of future experiences of teaching BIM in a university context.
