Principal Investigator: Assistant Prof. Abraham G. Campbell
Other Investigators: Muhammad Zahid Iqbal (PhD Researcher)
Address: School of Computer Science, University College Dublin, Ireland

• What is this study about?

This study is focusing on the use of augmented reality in the learning to improve the effectiveness and motivation of the students. The purpose of this study is the find the opportunities of using augmented reality and artificial intelligence in education to learn the scientific and technical subjects. This research study is part of my PhD work. Before you make a decision, you need to understand why the research is being done and what it would involve for you. Please take the time to read the following information carefully. You can ask questions if anything is not clear or if you would like more information. 

• Participation Invitations

To help us in this project, we are looking for participant from High schools who meet the following criteria.

1. Currently in 9th and 10th class
2. Have access to an Android smartphone device to test the application remotely

• What will happen if you decide to take part in this research study?

You will be asked to download and install our application on an Android smartphone or tablet and allow your child to perform the requested tasks which are including learning chemical reactions(chemistry related) with assistive support, then performing those reactions by hand interaction (interacting with virtual chemicals) and filling the Quiz at the end.  This whole process does not need any wearable or extra resource. All will be done with your mobile. 

• How will your data be used?

Your child will participate anonymously; however a temporary student ID will be assigned to you just for the purpose of conducting this research. Your personal data will not be published anywhere. 

• What are the risks of taking part in this research study?

There is no physical or mental risk involved in this research. You will be using the smartphone or tablet as normal to learn chemistry related topics related to educational work. We will ensure to maintain the mental task load and privacy of data.

• What are the benefits of taking part in this research study?

Whatever you learn in the classroom, is taught to you as a concept and imaginations. This research study is focusing on the increase of learning experience using 3D models in the augmented environment which will allow you to virtually interact with the virtual objects without having those material in the physical form.  

• Can you change your mind at any stage and withdraw from the study?

Yes, at any stage if you will uncomfortable about this research, you will be free to withdraw yourself from this study. 

• How will you find out what happens with this project?

This is a test case study which will help me to learn the success, new possibilities and limitation of the proposed system. It will help to improve the system and present for evaluation again and publishing the results.
