Augmented Reality-Based Simulations Embedded in Problem Based Learning Courses

Part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science book series (LNISA,volume 9307)

Abstract

Augmented reality is a technology that can be used to deploy Problem Based Learning activities that immerse students into meaningful learning activities by overlaying digital information; such as audio, video, 3D simulations, etc., to the vision of the real world. This paper explores the integration of augmented reality based activities in web courses providers and proposes a communication flow between an augmented reality application and a web based learning course provider.
