Abstract
As augmented reality (AR) has continued to expand the technology has seen integration into education and training practices. This study uses a comparative approach to address the question does prior experience provide for stronger knowledge retention on mobile augmented reality compared to other training and education modalities? A total of 33 participants were assigned to one of three training modalities (AR, paper manual, or online video). Once the training task was completed, they were tested on their knowledge retention from the experience via a 10-question quiz. While results from this study do not indicate AR provides for a better learning experience than other modalities several results point to the importance of individual characteristics.
