Multimedia-supported electricity teaching via the application “PUMA : Spannungslabor”
Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Learning about Electricity suffers from the fundamental concepts being difficult to understand for students. The multimedia application “PUMA : Spannungslabor” was developed to support students by visualizing didactic analogies for electricity. The application uses Augmented Reality-technology to place a digital representation atop a real-world circuit. It is connected to the real-world circuit by camera and via Bluetooth, which enables the measurement and presentation of real-life data through the app. An additional mode was implemented, enabling the use of the application as a simulation. This contribution presents the application which is designed for use in classes at secondary level 1 and gives examples on how it can support learning about electricity.
