Abstract

This research project looks at the role of large-scale visualization and the use of digital games and simulations in the development of student conceptualization of basic ideas associated with motion (kinematics). This project specifically looks at the role and impact of the Xbox Kinect Sensor in aiding student learning of ideas associated with distance, velocity and acceleration.
