Abstract

As technology is exponentially regenerated and developed; new educational methods are needed to assure better educational outcomes. Recently schools have started integrating recent technology into the educational process in order to attract students and increase their engagement in the process. This paper will demonstrate how an augmented immersive reality mobile application can work to enrich the learning environment and attract the students to learn and explore subjects such as sciences, more specifically Chemistry. Augmented immersive reality allows students to learn in their own way and pace while encouraging them to explore and be creative as their 'trial-and-error' mistakes will not impose any major consequences in the virtual world. A field study was conducted on grade 11 students to verify the benefits of using the developed application in education.
