Virtual reality, an immersive, hands-on tool learning, can play...
Educators must address several challenges inherent to the instruction of scientific disciplines such as physics -- expensive or insufficient laboratory equipment, equipment error, difficulty in simulating certain experimental conditions. Augmented reality (AR) can be a promising approach these challenges. In this paper, we discuss design and implementation an AR motion-sensing learning technology that teaches magnetic fields junior high school course. The purpose study is explore effects...
As the impacts of climate change grow, we need better ways to raise awareness and motivate action. Here assess effectiveness an Arctic card game in comparison with more conventional approach reading illustrated article. In-person assessments control/reading treatment/game groups (N = 41), were followed four weeks later a survey. The was found be as effective article teaching content over short term, than long-term retention new information. Game players also had higher levels engagement...
