“…In this study, results indicated no difference between the levels of engagement found in each group. This may be explained by the claim that "using robot based tools for learning," such as the LEGO brand WeDo robots, can "increase the engagement level in learning for all students despite their abilities" (Burbaite et al, 2012). Therefore, the mere act of playing with the LEGO brand WeDo robotic kits may have influenced the equally high levels of engagement among all of the students regardless of manual and robot type.…”

“…The issue with this practice is that, generally, there is no analysis of usability involved when designing these traditional procedural manuals (Greenough & Fakun, 2002). Because many digital manuals are often tested for ease of use, they can potentially motivate and encourage engagement from users (Burbaite, Stuikys, & Marcinkevicius, 2012).…”

This study investigates the classroom integration of an innovative technology, augmented reality. Although the process of adding new technologies into a classroom setting can be daunting, the concept of augmented reality has demonstrated the ability to educate students and to assist with their comprehension of a procedural task. One half of the students of a sixth grade class were exposed to augmented reality technology when they were assigned the procedural task of building Lego™ robots. As a control group, the other half of the class learned how to construct their robots using only the static paper manual that was provided by the manufacturer of the robot kit. The students who experienced the augmented reality technology did so by interacting with an animated version of the same static manual where they observed video tutorials that were overlaid onto the static manual to provide an augmented representation of each step. This technology solution was developed using the Aurasma™ augmented reality application which ran on Apple iPads™. Results have indicated that the students who used the animated manual to learn the procedural task showcased significantly higher comprehension scores when compared to those who only used the static manual. Our findings support the claims that the integration of augmented reality into a classroom setting may be beneficial to student learning.

“…In the development of the real application, we use the DRAWBOT [9] for several reasons: (1) the robot has been calibrated; we have revised and supplemented the calibration data; (2) the robot's movement is displayed clearly, because the robot draws its path. Four transformation rules to describe the robot movement have been formulated as follows: 1.…”

“…In most cases, it is enough to use a single educational robot in the smart environment to demonstrate a relatively simple task solving [BSM12]. In this case, the robot stands for a stand-alone teaching facility, but with the external support of the Internet and PC.…”
