AB  - The objective of this research was to see if introductory level programming students would benefit from using an interactive Pokémon Go style mobile application. Students are notorious for using their phones all the time, even during class.  The research aimed to see if this could be leveraged to the instructor’s advantage by introducing a mobile application that the students could use to learn computer science material. Augmented Reality was used to add to the appeal of the app and increase student interest. The map functionality makes this an exergame with the goal of leveraging the benefits of exercise while learning. Areas of study included student perception of the enjoyment level of the application, the usefulness in learning and retaining the material, and suggestions for improvement. Based on the results of this research, the project should be expanded to incorporate content for other courses and possibly even other universities.  An Augmented Reality Mobile application can be a supplement to traditional lecture materials and allow independent learning which can be especially useful during a pandemic.
