Augmented Reality for Programming Teaching. Student Satisfaction Analysis

This article describes a series of collaborative experiences carried out using hypermedia educational material that includes Augmented Reality (AR) activities to teach control structures in initial Programming courses. EPRA (which is the name of the hypermedia educational material developed) is described, and the results obtained are analyzed in relation to student satisfaction and perception of the knowledge acquired using this material and the related experience. One of the main findings is that the proposed Augmented Reality activities are considered by students to favor learning of the topic at hand and motivate them, adding a fun element to the abstract concepts involved.
