Enhancing learning and engagement through embodied interaction within a mixed reality simulation
TL;DR: Results of the study indicate that enacting concepts and experiencing critical ideas in physics through whole-body activity leads to significant learning gains, higher levels of engagement, and more positive attitudes towards science.
Journal ArticleDOI
Designing for Learning Conversations: How Parents Support Children's Science Learning Within an Immersive Simulation
Michael Tscholl,Robb Lindgren +1 more
TL;DR: This paper investigated the social learning affordances of a room-sized, immersive, and interactive augmented reality simulation environment designed to support children's understanding of basic physics concepts in a science center.
Journal ArticleDOI
Case-Based Learning, Pedagogical Innovation, and Semantic Web Technologies
TL;DR: The experience of working in diverse educational settings has highlighted Semantic Web technologies that may be particularly valuable, as well as some of the enablers and barriers to wider adoption, and areas for further research and development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cases, simulacra, and Semantic Web technologies
TL;DR: The work of authors including Baudrillard and Deleuze has provided an alternative framework for understanding the relationships between cases and the realities with which they are purportedly associated, and how the idea of the 'simulacrum' has influenced understanding of learning environments.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
MEteor: Developing Physics Concepts through Body-based Interaction with a Mixed Reality Simulation
TL;DR: The MEteor simulation as mentioned in this paper uses laser-based motion tracking and both floor and wall-projected imagery to encourage students to use their bodies to enact the trajectory of an asteroid as it travels in the vicinity of planets and their gravitational forces.
