60second-semester STEM students at Benedict College. We conducted a mixed-methods study toexamine the impact of a learning community model (the Benedict College Scientific Village),fused with critical pedagogy and hands-on laboratory research, on the collegiate success andretention of minority students in the STEM disciplines (Pantiwati, 2013). By introducing thismodel to students early in their college careers, we anticipated that various psychosocial and socio-economical impediments to student learning, retention, and academic success would beminimized. We confirmed that the Scientific Village model has a significant impact on theachievement, retention, and self-efficacy of STEM students at a small, historically Black college.The model and

impact the quality of the transcription as well as thepracticality of the overall system. It is difficult to evaluate the feasibility of specific audio inputmechanisms in the development laboratory since we lack the ability to reliably simulate real-world conditions (such as background noise). Data gathered from real-world testing will besignificantly more informative. We will work with test subjects to ensure that a variety of audioinput mechanisms are trialed in a variety of cases and gather users’ feedback. We believe thiswill lead to the identification of an additional design criteria with regard to ensuring a practical,high-quality audio input.ConclusionsWe identified and presented six major design objectives for an augmented reality
