3. Control by a mouse of a computer
Which modes did the students prefer? • AR • 3D pop-up book • Or both
After 73 students studied
Results of Preferred Presentation of AR and 3D Pop-up Book
Conclusion • The result of this research question reflects that both presentations of AR and 3D pop-up book are similarly preferred by the Grade Three students who have experienced participation in both media. • The reason seemingly for this is both are innovations appropriately adapted to the age of the students. Further research to explore the issues is needed.
