Doing it with a glass onion: Investigating affordances provided by a head-mounted augmented reality immersive device for the real-time online supervision of experimental learning

Abstract

The focus of this work was to assess the affordances provided by a head-mounted augmented reality immersive device for the real-time online supervision of experimental learning for off-campus engineering student experimentation. The data collection involved recordings of first-year electronics laboratory classes where students, under real-time face-to-face and online supervision, carried out their experiments using real components and test instruments. The identification of kikan-shido events in the collected data was used to find the affordances that were present in both the face-to-face and the remotely supervised experimental sessions.
