APPLICATION OF AUGMENTED REALITY IN CHEMISTRY TEACHING

Augmented reality (AR) is the combination of real environment and virtual elements that have the task
of enriching reality with information or other elements. In this sense, chemistry, and organic chemistry
in particular, are disciplines for which students require an adequate spatial vision to understand the
concepts and we propose that augmented reality can support and promote spatial skills.

APPLICATION OF AUGMENTED REALITY IN CHEMISTRY TEACHING

Augmented reality (AR) is the combination of real environment and virtual elements that have the task
of enriching reality with information or other elements. In this sense, chemistry, and organic chemistry
in particular, are disciplines for which students require an adequate spatial vision to understand the
concepts and we propose that augmented reality can support and promote spatial skills.
Although different studies have been carried out in recent years on the use of augmented reality in this
context, it is necessary to deepen into its application from a multidisciplinary point of view, being in
close contact with the developers of the applications and considering the needs and criteria of
professors of different levels and students.
To this end, this project has counted on the collaboration with the company CreativiTIC, through its
MetAClass Studio platform. From our side, we needed to create markers and the linked chemical
structures, which students can then visualise the molecular structures in 3D directly from their mobile
devices. The development has been carried out in a multidisciplinary way and covering different
educational levels, from Secondary Education to University.

Finally, we conducted an evaluation of this tool to qualitatively assess whether students achieved a
better understanding and improved their visualisation of molecular structures.
This project demonstrates how the appropriate use of augmented reality allows for a better
understanding of chemical structures and their reactions, as well as increasing student motivation, but
also highlights the need for proper teacher training and the appropriate implementation of the
technology. Mostrar menos

TÍTULO: "MODELIZACIÓN TEÓRICA Y USO DE LA REALIDAD AUMENTADA EN EL DISEÑO DE METAVERSOS DIDÁCTICOS PARA LA ENSEÑANZA DE ASPECTOS PRAGMÁTICOS Y CONCEPTUALES DE LA LENGUA INGLESA."

En la actual sociedad del conocimiento, la innovación docente constituye una dinámica esencial de cara a incrementar la calidad de la educación en todos sus niveles. Es, por tanto, uno de los pilares sobre los que se construye la excelencia a nivel global y que puede conducir al progreso de la sociedad, ya que se erige en una importante fuerza motriz de esta.

Cuando hablamos de innovación, podemos referirnos, de un lado, a la implementación de una mejora específica, y de otro, al proceso a partir del cual se identifican y se estructuran dichas mejoras. La innovación concebida solo como una mejora más es insuficiente para lograr la competitividad, es necesaria una transformación holística, constante y permanente, que afecte a todo el proceso y suponga un cambio de actitud dentro de la organización en cuestión.

La realidad aumentada es la combinación entre el entorno real y elementos virtuales que tienen el cometido de enriquecer la realidad con información u otros elementos. En este sentido, la Química y, más concretamente, la Química Orgánica son unas disciplinas que precisan de una adecuada visión espacial para su completa comprensión y donde la realidad aumentada puede apoyar y fomentar la habilidad espacial.

Aunque en los últimos años se han llevado a cabo diferentes estudios sobre el empleo de la realidad aumentada en este contexto, es necesario profundizar en su aplicación desde un punto de vista multidisciplinar, estando en contacto estrecho con los desarrolladores de las aplicaciones y teniendo en cuenta las necesidades y criterios de profesores de diferentes niveles y de los estudiantes.

Para ello este proyecto ha contado con la colaboración de la empresa CreativiTIC, mediante su app metAClass Studio. Se han creado marcadores y estructuras químicas, que los estudiantes usaban para visualizar las estructuras en 3D desde sus dispositivos móviles. El desarrollo se ha llevado a cabo de forma multidisciplinar y abarcando diferentes niveles educativos, desde FP Básica a Educación Secundaria Obligatoria y Universidad.

En el trabajo se demuestra cómo la adecuada utilización de la realidad aumentada permite una mejor comprensión de las estructuras químicas y sus reacciones, además de aumentar la motivación del estudiantado, pero destaca también la necesidad de una correcta formación del profesorado y la adecuada implementación de la tecnología.

Introducción

La enseñanza de aspectos pragmáticos del lenguaje en el aula de inglés como lengua extranjera ha sido tradicionalmente un área deficitaria. En concreto, dos fenómenos lingüísticos destacan por la escasa atención que se les presta en los libros de texto y materiales didácticos: los actos de habla y el lenguaje figurado (metáfora, metonimia, etc.). Ambos fenómenos comparten características que les hace ser especialmente difíciles de abordar en la enseñanza de segundas lenguas: (1) su naturaleza indirecta (todo o parte de su significado ha de ser inferido más allá del significado literal de la expresión) y (2) su dependencia de la información contextual tanto para su producción como para su interpretación (los hablantes necesitan tener en cuenta variables sociales y contextuales como el poder y la distancia social, u otras variables culturales en su realización).

Metodología

La metodología utilizada en relación al objetivo (1) es de naturaleza inductiva/empírica, basada en el uso dos corpus: iWeb [https://corpus.byu.edu/iweb/] para la modelación de los actos de habla y ReframeCovid para la selección de las metáforas conceptuales.

En relación al objetivo (2) se ha hecho uso de la aplicación Augmented Class! [http://augmentedclass.com] para el diseño de los materiales docentes en formato RA.

La profunda transformación del modelo productivo, así como la digitalización de la sociedad del conocimiento, demanda perfiles de trabajo con conocimientos y habilidades digitales para poder integrarse en grupos multidisciplinares. Un punto de acceso al mercado laboral es, sin duda, el desarrollo del TFG. Este proyecto tiene como objetivo explorar una vía para fomentar la realización de TFGs de naturaleza aplicada y con una finalidad profesional, cuyo objetivo final es la creación de un producto, poniendo así a los estudiantes en contacto con las necesidades del mundo empresarial y con conceptos como la divulgación, la comercialización o el impacto social de su trabajo.
Método. El proyecto de innovación ha consistido en un estudio de caso. Las investigadoras han dirigido y han hecho un seguimiento y posterior evaluación de un TFG-producto, cuya finalidad ha sido aplicar los conocimientos adquiridos durante la carrera al diseño y creación de materiales docentes para la enseñanza de la metáfora conceptual en lengua inglesa a estudiantes de primaria mediante la aplicación de realidad aumentada AugmentedClass!

El estudio de caso revela que la realización de TFG-productos permite: (1) potenciar el perfil digital del egresado en el área de Letras y Educació, (2) fomentar el interés del estudiante por desarrollar trabajos con alto impacto social, a través de la confluencia con un Proyecto de Innovación Educativa del Centro de Recursos e Innovación Educativa de la Consejería de Educación, y (3) iniciar al alumnado de Letras y Educación en la colaboración con el sector privado (a través de la colaboración con una empresa riojana de realidad aumentada, CreativiTIC).

Por otra parte, también ha permitido reflexionar sobre la naturaleza de la rúbrica de evaluación de los TFGs de la Facultad de Letras y de la Educación para dar cabida a la evaluación de trabajos aplicados de naturaleza profesional y orientados a la generación de productos digitales. Mostrar menos

A lo largo de tres sesiones, el estudiante pudo aprender contenidos de Ciencias Naturales, concretamente los cambios de estado y el ciclo del agua, a través de actividades realizadas con Realidad Aumentada, que posteriormente llegó a explicar a sus compañeros. De este modo, se intentó dar respuesta a algunos de los principales déficits que presentan este tipo de personas: por un lado, la comunicación y la interacción social y, por otro, el aprendizaje de aquella información de naturaleza más abstracta como así lo confirman los resultados encontrados.En definitiva, recursos como la Realidad Aumentada ayudan a afianzar el proceso de aprendizaje de alumnos con necesidades específicas de apoyo educativo, y en consecuencia, aumentan la posibilidad de establecer relaciones sociales con otras personas, facilitando así su integración en el aula ordinaria.

The concept of the augmented coaching ecosystem for non-obtrusive adaptive personalized elderly care is proposed on the basis of the integration of new and available ICT approaches. They include the multimodal user interface (MMUI), augmented reality (AR), machine learning (ML), Internet of Things (IoT), and machine-to-machine (M2M) interactions. The ecosystem is based on the Cloud-Fog-Dew computing paradigm services, providing a full symbiosis by integrating the whole range from low-level sensors up to high-level services using integration efficiency inherent in synergistic use of applied technologies. Inside of this ecosystem, all of them are encapsulated in the following network layers: Dew, Fog, and Cloud computing layer. Instead of the "spaghetti connections", "mosaic of buttons", "puzzles of output data", etc., the proposed ecosystem provides the strict division in the following dataflow channels: consumer interaction channel, machine interaction channel, and caregiver interaction channel. This concept allows to decrease the physical, cognitive, and mental load on elderly care stakeholders by decreasing the secondary human-to-human (H2H), human-to-machine (H2M), and machine-to-human (M2H) interactions in favor of M2M interactions and distributed Dew Computing services environment. It allows to apply this non-obtrusive augmented reality ecosystem for effective personalized elderly care to preserve their physical, cognitive, mental and social well-being. Mostrar menos

The analysis of the current integration attempts of some modes and use cases of user-machine interaction is presented. The new concept of the user-driven intelligent interface is proposed on the basis of multimodal augmented reality and brain-computer interaction for various applications: in disabilities studies, education, home care, health care, etc. The several use cases of multimodal augmentation are presented. The perspectives of the better human comprehension by the immediate feedback through neurophysical channels by means of brain-computer interaction are outlined. It is shown that brain-computer interface (BCI) technology provides new strategies to overcome limits of the currently available user interfaces, especially for people with functional disabilities. The results of the previous studies of the low end consumer and open-source BCI-devices allow us to conclude that combination of machine learning (ML), multimodal interactions (visual, sound, tactile) with BCI will profit from the immediate feedback from the actual neurophysical reactions classified by ML methods. In general, BCI in combination with other modes of AR interaction can deliver much more information than these types of interaction themselves. Even in the current state the combined AR-BCI interfaces could provide the highly adaptable and personal services, especially for people with functional disabilities. Mostrar menos

Emotional competence and social communication development can be concurrently supported through intentional thought and planning on the part of the early childhood educator. In this article, we offer a proposal for teachers to effectively implement interventions to support these two areas, all within the context of augmented reality. The levels of feeling exploration, social skills and conflict resolution can be implemented using augmented reality to support children and enhance and refine their social competence. Augmented reality (AR) provides an environment where exploration of feelings and interaction with equals is possible and it allows children to understand and practice social skills in a technologically-biased context. The interactive possibilities of AR enable children to explore and learn what can occur by observing how people behave and by observing the effects and consequences of that behaviour. Moreover, by using the AR application, children become active part of the interaction and they can observe how participants mutually influence each other and they can learn social skills by modeling and trying without being afraid of the results of the interaction. The article presents the implementation of a proposal for emotional and social development in early childhood. Mostrar menos

Teaching or learning chemistry at all educational levels is a major issue, since it involves some difficulty, especially in primary school, where is the first time students learn those contents. Therefore, it is important to use new strategies of teaching chemistry that help understanding diverse concepts, often abstracts. How to convey our concepts in an accessible way? Perhaps by using that powerful entry into the brain; visualization. New tools and challenges for chemical education are required.

In this work Augmented Reality (AR) is presented as the appropriate tool to explain to children (9-10 years old) two chemistry concepts: ionic bond and combustion reaction. The AugmentedClass (augmentedclass.com) platform, developed by the company CreativiTIC Innova, is used to generate the augmented reality contents for the lesson. Teachers create the augmented reality markers and contents without any technical knowledge, and when afterwards, using the mobile app (for smartphones and tablets) the appropriate markers are joined, they interact generating different actions such as text, sound, video or graphics, which are added to a live view of the real-world environment provided by the camera.

In the case of ionic bonding, first the Periodic Table is introduced to kids and some columns (groups) are highlighted. For example, what happens if we join the lithium-marker with chlorine-marker? An animation appears in which it is observed that Li gives an electron to Cl, and thus both acquire the noble gas structure (octet rule). If two markers from the same column are joined, an animation appears indicating the error.

About combustion reaction, some markers have been designed to understand the three necessary components in a combustion reaction. Joining the three suitable markers, it appears a flame and the formula of carbon dioxide and water.

Both activities (ionic bonding and combustion reaction) were carried out with children and the results were excellent. Mostrar menos

At the moment, there is different software in the market that generates simulated 3D visualization of the images from the MRT systems. However, researchers and physicians generally carry out this visualization in 2D flat monitors and, in the best-case scenario, in a 3D screen, losing a great part of the advantages provided by the 3D spatial representation. To overcome this situation, new 3D visualization technologies must be developed.

In this field, new devices have recently appeared in the market, going beyond the state of the art, and transforming images into real 3D immersive experiences. Technologies such as virtual reality and holographic vision allow three-dimensional objects to appear in the surrounding environment of the observer and in combination with manipulation tools, can create interactive environments with stereoscopic, 3D visual displays and immersive interaction from a first person perspective, allowing physicians to enter the object of study and decide in the diagnosis.

Virtual reality allows researchers to obtain a more accurate diagnosis and a new use of brain imaging results for pre-surgical planning.

In this work, we’ve developed a new software for Virtual Reality HeadSets as ‘Oculus Rift’ and a new device for holographical vision, ‘HoloDeck’. HoloDeck is a functional multipurpose 4D holographic immersive visualization hardware and software viewer, with two 3D screens, to improve the accuracy, speed and efficiency for clinical diagnosis in nuclear medicine, clinically validated. It includes a gesture controller device, instead of a mouse or a pad, for a natural hand movement in 3D space. Both systems are integrated in a workbench that generates interactive and gesturally operable 3D models, based on the 2D DICOM images coming from MRI or microscopy equipments.

Autism is a neurological disorder of high prevalence and high associated costs, in special education, therapeutic and residential expenses. Its main problem, especially in children and in severe cases, is precisely the difficulty of communication and understanding of concepts considered as basics for the rest of the population.

Nowadays, the most widespread way for communication is pictograms, graphic representations, which, alone or together, help to illustrate concepts and situations. However, the large amount of existing pictograms (+30,000) and the difficulty in expressing verbal actions, make it challenging to communicate effectively and get the patient to integrate normally in their educational and social environment.

Based on previous studies demonstrating that Augmented Reality (AR) technology helps to improve communication, providing a multimedia layer on static images of the pictograms; we present Augmented caRer, an AR platform that allows users (parents, caregivers, etc.) superimpose that multimedia content on the pictograms, for a later use with patients in their daily routine.

This tool adapts the Augmented Class technology, already validated in education, which has been transferred to an educational environment of primary school with autistic students obtaining 100 % of patient attention and quick response to the examples, after failed attempts with traditional teaching methods.

After obtaining the first positive results, it is intended to generate a database of the most commonly used pictograms and disseminate the tool for experimental use, through associations of relatives of patients or the therapeutic sector.

Augmented reality (AR) being an emerging technology of high potential, has already been applied in educational fields, although not always being empirically tested and validated. This paper proposes the development of an AR software oriented to aid Computer Engineer students understanding concepts and processes in embedded systems during laboratory exercises. The design of the software has been realized taking into account the task taxonomy and students' needs established within the project and its effectiveness and usability will be evaluated inside laboratory practices at universities using feedback from first evaluations to update and improve the final software. When learning electronics, especially embedded systems, students have to face the challenge of understanding the mechanisms of several embedded devices without actually seeing their interactions and functions.

Augmented Reality (AR) consists on the superposition of virtual elements into the real world. It is an innovative technology which is starting to be introduced in many fields, including research and education, as a complementary system for improving understanding and visualization of complex concepts.

This communication presents a mobile application automatized to display Protein Data Bank (PDB) files in Augmented Reality, with configurable displaying options and environments. The standard format of the PDBs and the extensive existing data bank in the network allows this application to be universalized and introduced in a wide range of fields.

The innovation that offers the fact of transforming a plain text file into a three dimensional model displayed in the real world and which can be easily manipulated presents special interest for:

- Researching scenarios, as a complementary tool for visualization and collaborative works.
- Education and Conferences as a support during explanations enhancing the interactivity between lecturer and audience.

Embedded systems are the invisible electronics and corresponding software that bring intelligence to objects, processes and devices. They can be found in all kind of industrial fields where real-time responses are critical in daily operations, for instance in factories, being responsible of controlling production and maintenance processes, in medical equipment and ambulances or inside aerospace and military equipment.

When studying and later on working with embedded systems, users need to access a huge amount of information about their specifications and functioning to understand the processes happening inside them and be able to act consequently. In an educational field this time means students to spend more time investigating about the components than really using them in laboratories and on the other hand, in industrial environments, any time excess is synonym of waste. Furthermore, when talking about critical situations such as aircraft maintenance technical operators must have the highest training to fulfill their mission. The idea behind the project presented in this paper is an
augmented reality system that covers the necessity of having an interactive, intuitive and time-saving learning tool for future embedded systems Engineers and Technicians, as well as being used as assistance on maintenance processes, aiding the specialist on decision making.

Developed in a first stage under a FP7 project agreement, first validations and updates will be made within the consortium universities and research centers that will allow the first system to be in the market. After that, the scalability of this system will allow it to be integrated in more industrial sectors as a learning tool and assistance for fast and reliable maintenance processes. Mostrar menos

Abstract - This paper presents an approach to the evaluation of study programs in the field of embedded computer engineering. The study programs cover the following subject categories: 1) digital system design, 2) computer system design, 3) digital signal processing, 4) computer networking and 5) system integration. The results of the evaluation of hardware, software and instructional materials in embedded engineering learning are presented. Student assignments are evaluated using the proposed tasks taxonomy which consists of three levels: 1) exercises, 2) problems, 3) projects. Students and teachers were asked to analyze the difficulty, lab material, level of student understanding and the amount of individual and team work in the subjects. First research results suggest that there is a large overhead in the number of platforms used in the mentioned courses. It was shown that in learning embedded computer engineering, the students deal merely with doing
basic exercises and solving simple problems, while additional work is required in shifting the learning process towards enhancing students' higher-order cognitive skills such as problem solving and creativity, and fostering teamwork. The research also showed that it would be helpful to develop a unified embedded engineering learning platform for multiple courses in the curriculum. Mostrar menos
