How Augmented Reality Visually Supports Students
The fourth theme in our AR Value series is how Augmented Reality Visually Supports Students.
Visualization of invisible concepts, abstract concepts, and events. How Augmented Reality Visually Supports Students
Ease of use for students and how AR affects laboratory material cost.
Augmented Reality Learner Outcomes Theme
Furthermore, Wu, Lee, Chang, & Liang, found AR helps learners visualize abstract concepts (2013).
The two remaining sub-themes, ‘abstract concepts’ and ‘events,’ will be researched along with any additional ‘other’ category.
