Integration of Augmented Reality Learning Experiences into a Wider Learning Management System for Tablets

Cilj ovog diplomskog rada bio je izrada tri digitalne lekcije s elementima proširene stvarnosti, AR.math, AR.geometry i AR.shapes. AR moduli izrađeni su korištenjem Unity programskog sučelja uz razvojno okruženje za softver Vuforia SDK te su dostupni za Android i iOS tablet uređaje. Ostvareni su kao dodatak InForma, sučelja za digitalno učenje kreiranog u sklopu projekta SCOLLAm, te se pozivaju putem parametriziranog URL-a. Nastavak rada uključivao je i provođenje eksperimenata u OŠ Trnjanska s ciljem istraživanja utjecaja na napredak djece u učenju. Iako su djeca pokazala entuzijazam i veću motivaciju za radom, osnovni obrazac ponašanja nije uočen jer su rezultati varirali. Ovo je samo početak istraživanja povezanosti napretka djece u učenju s digitalnim lekcijama s elementima proširene stvarnosti (ARLE) koje će se nastaviti i u budućnosti.Main goal of this master thesis was to create three digital lessons using augmented reality, AR.math, AR.geometry and AR.shapes. These AR modules are developed using Unity cross-development platform with the support of Vuforia SDK. They are developed for Android and iOS operating systems and they are optimized for tablet devices. AR modules are integrated as widgets in InForm (an application for mobile learning) and started using URL containing needed parameters. Both, AR modules and InForm, are part of SCOLLAm project. Experiments in primary school Trnjanska were also part of this master thesis researching effectiveness of using tablets in primary school education. Even though children were highly motivated and enthusiastic while using tablets, basic pattern of behavior could not be recognized as the results vary. This is just the beginning of research in student’s improvement while working with tablets using augmented reality learning experience (ARLE) and will be continued in the future
