Abstract

This chapter introduces a new web-based platform named AugmentedWorld that was designed to allow science teachers and students to generate location-based multimedia-rich questions. A study among 98 pre-service science teachers indicated that deep learning of science concepts can be promoted by generating and solving interactive questions connected to a specific location and real-world applications. The use of AugmentedWorld may foster ICT literacy, critical thinking, contextualization, and creativity - four essential skills required for 21st-century education. Our study shows that the method is most effective when using a taxonomy for question generation.
