EcoMOBILE – Designing for contextualized STEM learning using mobile technologies and augmented reality
(Routledge, 2016)The ubiquity of mobile technologies can unlock new opportunities for “anytime, anywhere” learning, and some argue that portable mobile platforms will inherently lead to more contextualized learning experiences. However, ... -
EcoMOBILE: Blending virtual and augmented realities for learning ecosystems science and complex causality
(2012)We are studying whether ecosystems instruction can be more engaging and effective by combining immersive virtual environments and real ecosystems infused with digital resources. In prior research, we developed EcoMUVE, an ... -
EcoMOBILE: Integrating augmented reality and probeware with environmental education field trips
(Elsevier BV, 2013)Positioned in the context of situated learning theory, the EcoMOBILE project combines an augmented reality (AR) experience with use of environmental probeware during a field trip to a local pond environment. Activities ... -
