Abstract:

This article introduces an innovative approach to assessing and enhancing Building Information Modeling (BIM) skills using Digital Process Automation (DPA) and Robotic Process Automation (RPA). Aimed at university BIM courses, the study addresses the challenge of evaluating students' modelling proficiency. The autodidactic teaching concept utilizes a Bizagi-based work portal, offering modules categorized by BIM roles. Learners engage in application-specific tasks, assessed through automated evaluations facilitated by RPA bots. The integrated system successfully combines DPA and RPA components, highlighting challenges and prospects for an error-free portal.
