The document discusses a study exploring the use of mobile augmented reality to support secondary education in Mexico. Researchers conducted interviews at a public secondary school to understand students' mobile phone usage and developed a prototype Android application to supplement textbook learning with 3D models, video, and audio. They tested the prototype with 5 students aged 12 on average, who remained focused and engaged. Students rated the usability of the prototype highly at 7.9 out of 10 on average. The results suggest augmented reality on mobile phones could effectively support Mexican secondary education.

education in Mexico
 Celso Juárez, Pedro Santana and Martha Magaña

2. Introduction
 Support Mexican secondary education
to improve the students textbooks
 Better understanding
 Bring technology to the ordinary classroom
(beyond the computing laboratory)

3.  So,
we went into a
secondary school for a
case study

4. Gathering preliminary context
 Interviews in a public secondary
school
 Knowledge about mobile phones and how
they use them
 Subjects: 30, ten for every
grade, randomly selected.

13. The session
1. Pre-questionnaire to meassure previous
knowledge
2. Show and explain the system
3. Hands on the prototype
4. Post-questionnaire
5. Usability score ranking from 1(very poor) to
10 (excelent)
