Engineering students differ in their development of spatial skills, andthis difference may affect their performance on certain tasks. To help students in enhancing theirspatial skills, we employed augmented reality technology in the classroom to present the 3Dmodel of the complex 2D figures from the textbook.

challenges of documenting everyinstance a student speaks (especially in large lectures [1], [4], [11]), there are other importantlimitations of such an approach. The quality of each student contribution is often still subjective[1], [2], [5] and contributions a student makes during small group work, a popular active learningstrategy, are often not included [11]. Furthermore, there is evidence that quantity and evenquality of oral contributions are not good indicators of actual student engagement [4], [7], [12],[13]. Finally, there is no flexibility for “quiet learners,” minorities, international students, orstudents who, for various reasons, are less vocal [4], [7], [8], [12], [14], [15].Lack of in-class oral contribution is often interpreted by
