The study was conducted with students in Arts Degree from the University of La Laguna during the academic year 2010-2011. The software chosen for the workshop has been Google Sketchup 8, free version. To measure the results of the pilot study, students completed a survey of effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction on the Workshop, and it was measured the effect of spatial vision using the Mental Rotation Test (MRT).
