Development of an AR-Based AI Education App for Non-Majors

The purpose of this study is to develop an AR-based app to teach non-engineering majors AI and analyze the educational effect. AIEduAR has developed a visual solution that displays the methods of teaching non-engineering majors how the machine learning on their own. Eighty-eight undergraduates who had not received any AI education were given lessons on AI learning principles and required to solve 10 problems using AIEduAR. Through AIEduAR, the students inputted data into augmented reality, set data attributes and learning rates, and entered new data to check out the accuracy of trained AI. Analysis of the technology acceptance model and Instructional Materials Motivation Survey questionnaire concluded that they are highly likely to accept and learn AR technology in AI education. Moreover, AIEduAR turned out to be effective in boosting their confidence in learning and instantaneous feedback. This study has successfully incorporated AR into AI education and developed learning steps required for AI education using AR.
