First-year engineering students show difficulties in connecting basic vector algebra with manipulations using the graphical representation. Experiencing vectors in real applications can improve the process of learning vectors. Thus, we introduce a unique approach for using digital technologies, namely augmented reality. We utilized a video…

This paper presents a "virtual reality" based lesson for a common Calculus topic, including a description of how the lecture was implemented in both a virtual reality and an augmented reality hardware system. This lesson was delivered to a number of calculus classes and we describe the student response to the lesson via a quiz and a…

In a previous report, Neumann (2010) described the use of interactive computer-based simulations in the assessment of statistical concepts. This assessment approach combined declarative knowledge of statistics with experiences in interacting with computer-based simulations. The aim of the present study was to conduct a systematic evaluation of the…
