TL;DR: It is proposed that AR-SKOPE, an application that integrates Building Information Modelling and Augmented Reality may improve learning, and allows students to visit specific buildings and investigate their various systems with supplementary information using a phone or tablet.
Abstract: Augmented Reality provides a way to enhance the classroom experience. In particular, student learning about building systems in the fields of Architecture, Civil, and Mechanical Engineering may improve, if visualization outside the classroom is provided. We propose that AR-SKOPE, an application that integrates Building Information Modelling and Augmented Reality may improve learning. This application allows students to visit specific buildings and investigate their various systems with supplementary information using a phone or tablet. We are currently testing our early prototype to conduct a semester-long study.

TL;DR: A prototype of a mobile AR application to deliver lessons for training in robotic automation for construction industry workers is demonstrated and the goal is to evaluate the effectiveness of the AR application by gauging participants’ performance using pre and post surveys.
Abstract: Advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI), Information Technology, Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR), and Robotic Automation is transforming jobs in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industries. However, it is also expected that these technologies will lead to job displacement, alter skill profiles for existing jobs, and change how people work. Therefore, preparing the workforce for an economy defined by these technologies is imperative. This ongoing research focuses on developing an immersive learning training curriculum to prepare the future workforce of the building industry. In this paper we are demonstrating a prototype of a mobile AR application to deliver lessons for training in robotic automation for construction industry workers. The application allows a user to interact with a virtual robot manipulator to learn its basic operations. The goal is to evaluate the effectiveness of the AR application by gauging participants’ performance using pre and post surveys.

TL;DR: It has been suggested that AR technology can be a potential and effective tool for activating students' positive emotions in PBL process and implications on use of AR for physics education are discussed.
Abstract: This study investigates the effects of Problem Based Learning (PBL) assisted with Augmented Reality (AR) on learning achievement and attitude towards physics subjects as a part of science education. The sample of the study included 91 seventh graders from a province in the north of Turkey. A quasi-experimental design with two experimental groups and a control group was utilized. Based upon marker-based AR technologies, FenAR software was developed to support with PBL activities in the classroom. The experimental results indicated that integrating AR into PBL activities both increased students' learning achievement and promoted their positive attitudes towards physics subjects. This technology contributed to students' long-term retention of the concepts in the field of physics. In semi-structured interviews, the students emphasized that AR applications were more useful, realistic, and interesting for their learning; helped them to understand and analyse the problem scenarios. Apart from educational advantages, AR applications may lead to physical disorders among some of the students. It has been suggested that AR technology can be a potential and effective tool for activating students' positive emotions in PBL process. Moreover, implications on use of AR for physics education and recommendations for further studies are also discussed in the study.
