within wider educational settings.Future research development involves focusing on improving the effectiveness of the AR-basedlearning experience identified during interviews to improve the curriculum. One keyimprovement pertains to smoothing the transition from 2D to 3D representations. We noticed thatsome students struggled when switching between 2D and 3D representations, often failing toinclude the third dimension. For example, students who correctly named the vertical axis as they-axis demonstrated confusion about how to incorporate the z-axis into their reasoning. Toaddress this, we plan to design AR examples which explicitly relate 2D and 3D visualizations,and to practice working with all possible 2D vector projections in Axy, Axz, and

Allowing students to attend virtually may allow them to keep their plans, but stillattend class. Another way to incentivize students is to give quizzes or exams on Friday so thatbeing absent directly impacts their grade. Other ways to motivate students are to increase socialpressure through the use of group work or to do homework problems together. Working ingroups or as a class has also shown to have a positive impact on overall grades [7].Unfortunately, nearly all incentive techniques have drawbacks that make them difficult to userepeatedly.
