22. Results - students
• Navigate vs. Exploration
• Application designed for explotaration
• Navigation can be used to find your way besides
paper map.
• accuracy of GPS-signal!
• Students appreciated recording their notes and
checking them afterward via the web.
• Quality of essays of ARlearn students was higher
than non-ARlearn students.

23. Results - tutor
• Multitasking
• tutor can monitor different students real-time
• checking continuously the online portfolio to check
the progress and answer of students
• Intervene sometimes with instruction or extra
assignments
• Assignments were sometimes too complex, tasks
need to be split in smaller ones in future
implementations.

25. Research
Find out how much ‘ human intervention ‘ from an
expert / tutor is needed during the fieldwork?
Ask questions during the fieldwork... is this
needed?
Review of student’s work during their fieldwork;
tutor can require additional activities
Perspective:
Students can run the game on their own in
