Nuno Verdelho Trindade; Lidia Custodio; Alfredo Ferreira; Joao Madeiras Pereira – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2024
Ray tracing is a computer graphics technique used to produce realistic visuals by physically simulating the behavior of light. Although this technique can be described straightforwardly, fully comprehending it might be challenging. It is typically taught in the classroom using the 2-D formats, such as paper or a blackboard. We propose using…

Demitriadou, Eleni; Stavroulia, Kalliopi-Evangelia; Lanitis, Andreas – Education and Information Technologies, 2020
Primary school students often find it difficult to understand the differences between two dimensional and three-dimensional geometric shapes. Taking advantage of the ability of virtual and augmented reality to visualize 3D objects, we investigate the potential of using virtual and augmented reality technologies for teaching the lesson of geometric…

Prvan, Marina; Ožegovic, Julije – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2020
This article provides a survey of methods and paradigms for teaching Computer Networks (CN). Since the theoretical concepts are rather abstract in this subject, and students often find them too technical and difficult to understand, many authors attempt to answer the question on how to improve students' motivation and interest for the complex…

Gonzalez, Alexis A.; Lizana, Pablo A.; Pino, Sonia; Miller, Brant G.; Merino, Cristian – Advances in Physiology Education, 2020
The integrated mechanisms of heart contraction are some of the most complex processes for undergraduate biomedical students to understand. Visual models have the potential to enhance learning environments by providing visual representations of complex mechanisms. Despite their benefits, the use of visual models in undergraduate classrooms is still…

McNeal, Karen S.; Ryker, Katherine; Whitmeyer, Shelley; Giorgis, Scott; Atkins, Rachel; LaDue, Nicole; Clark, Christine; Soltis, Nick; Pingel, Thomas – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2020
We developed and tested different pedagogical treatments using an Augmented Reality (AR) Sandbox to teach introductory geoscience students about reading topographic maps at five institutions in both pilot and full implementation studies. The AR Sandbox treatments were characterized as 1) unstructured play, 2) a semi-structured lesson, and 3) a…

Harris, Patricia Ann – ProQuest LLC, 2019
Spatial intelligence is an essential skill commonly used within various fields of science. Students with low spatial abilities frequently struggle to identify, retrieve, and apply key complex abstract information presented as multiple representations to actual three-dimensional natural materials and phenomena. Spatial ability may be considered a…
