Research Protocol
The research protocol divides the number of students participating into three equal groups.

• Research Protocol

Informed Consent
Participation in the research requires the collection of an Institutional Research Board (IRB) informed consent form signed by each participant.

• Informed Consent Form

Pre- and Post-tests were developed to evaluate student learning using augmented reality (AR) techniques. The pre-test was administered before showing the video and the post-test was administered after showing the video.
The areas of construction explored were:

• Masonry
  • Pre-Test and Drawings
    • Demographic and Background Questionnaire
    • Computer Literacy and Skills Questionnaire
    • Masonry Problem Solving Skills Questionnaire
    • Masonry Drawing A106 (Figure 1)
    • Post-Test and Drawings
    • Masonry Construction Video (mp4)
