Habig, Sebastian – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2020
This paper is about "augmented reality" (AR) and its potentials to support students in handling scientific representations. For this purpose, first representations are examined from a science educational and instructional psychology perspective. After giving a short overview of AR in general and how it can be delineated from…

Horton, Lucas; Liu, Min; Olmanson, Justin; Toprac, Paul – Online Submission, 2011
In this paper we explore students' engagement in a new media enhanced problem-based learning (PBL) environment and investigate the characteristics of these environments that facilitate learning. We investigated both student experiences using a new media enhanced PBL environment and the specific elements students found most supportive of their…
