The University of South Florida was awarded a $299,994 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop augmented reality simulations and related materials for introductory physics courses from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2025. The university will create six AR simulations covering key topics in physics, along with video tutorials to help instructors incorporate the simulations into an investigative science learning environment approach. The simulations and instructional materials aim to improve students' conceptual understanding and achievement in physics by making abstract concepts more visually engaging and hands-on. Research will explore the educational impacts of the AR tools on both students and instructors. If successful, the project could help transform large-enrollment introductory physics courses into more dynamic, inquiry-based learning environments.
