Utilizing GPS-enabled handheld computing units, we have developed and studied Augmented Reality (AR) curricula to help middle-school students learn literacy and math. In AR, students move around an outdoor physical environment, interacting with virtual characters and artifacts on their handheld computer. These “invisible” objects and characters provide clues to help solve a mystery, guiding the students through a process of inquiry and evidence-building. The first AR curriculum we developed, Alien Contact!, is based on a scenario where aliens have crash landed near the students’ middle school. Students, working in teams, learn math and literacy skills in the course of determining why the aliens have come to earth. This study describes the design heuristics used during the initial development and deployment of Alien Contact!, the results of two formative evaluations of this curriculum, and the impact these findings have had on revising our design heuristics for a subsequent AR curriculum about beached whales, called Gray Anatomy.

  This study aimed at identify the evaluation estimates of the content of the book of maths for the intermediate stage in the light of visual thinking skills. The descriptive approach was used through analysis of content based on objective, structured and quantitative description of thinking skills. The study tool is developed by identifying visual thinking skills related to math study and necessary for middle school students.  The results of the study generally indicated that the content of mathematics books for middle school was interested in visual thinking skills in all middle-school grades. In short, middle school math books have made a clear effort, demonstrating the use of a lot of skills clearly and focusing on important skills for middle school students with visual thinking skills.
