Comparing the 3D Augmented Reality Sandbox and a 2D Paper Map's Effects on Student Learning and Cognitive Load among University Undergraduates: Applying Multimodal and Embodied Interaction Theories to Teaching Topographic Map Skills

Direct link

R. Thomas Richardson – ProQuest LLC, 2017

This study tested the proposition that the Augmented Reality Sandbox's (ARS) user-interaction from tactile sensory feedback and a realistic 3D perspective improved topographic map comprehension among novice users with reduced cognitive load compared to the same instruction and practice from a 2D topographic map. Undergraduate students were…

The Evaluation of Argument Mapping as a Learning Tool: Comparing the Effects of Map Reading versus Text Reading on Comprehension and Recall of Arguments

Peer reviewed

Direct link

Dwyer, Christopher P.; Hogan, Michael J.; Stewart, Ian – Thinking Skills and Creativity, 2010

The current study compared the effects on comprehension and memory of learning via text versus learning via argument map. Argument mapping is a method of diagrammatic representation of arguments designed to simplify the reading of an argument structure and allow for easy assimilation of core propositions and relations. In the current study, 400…
