| Abstract: | This paper describes the process of modifying an augmented reality (AR) model and lessons to improve these resources to help students visualize and master the concept of the magnetic field of a current-carrying wire. The most updated version of the AR model was simplified to remove confusion about electron flow and conventional current (opposite flow direction), add a right-hand-rule gesture to the model, and add a coordinate system to relate the B field to a direction. The analysis described in previous studies using both a grounded theory methodology and the mathematical sensemaking framework are used to modify the AR model and the lesson worksheet to improve this resource for students. The changes to the AR model and the lesson worksheet are described in this paper. |
