Cyberlearning and Augmented Reality in STEM Education

摘要

This paper introduces a new type of science labs that enhances students’ knowledge structure and in particular, helps students to visualize abstract processes. The term vista portrays an extensive mental view over a stretched of time and series of events and the definition of vista exactly captures the goal of this project. Usually, meaningful learning involves link making between various concepts, events, and processes over the span of time and space. Students often have difficulties particularly when learning involves pondering on long processes, fast transitions, many variable interactions or whenever the space and time in a context are counterintuitive or obscured.
