Bressler, D. M.; Bodzin, A. M. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2013
Current studies have reported that secondary students are highly engaged while playing mobile augmented reality (AR) learning games. Some researchers have posited that players' engagement may indicate a flow experience, but no research results have confirmed this hypothesis with vision-based AR learning games. This study investigated factors…
