Using mobile tools in immersive environments to support science inquiry

Digitally augmented physical spaces (e.g. smart classrooms) offer opportunities to engage students in novel and potentially transformative learning experiences. This paper presents an immersive rainforest simulation and a mobile inquiry platform where co-located students collect observational data from the environment and explore their peers' data using large visualizations displayed at the front of the room. This is relevant to the design of educational experiences, immersive and physical-digital spaces.
