Abstract

This Master’s thesis focuses on the development of a digital guide for the creation of board games enriched with augmented reality (AR) elements, utilizing the ARTutor platform. The main aim of the study is to empower teachers of all educational levels to design and implement innovative learning experiences that combine the physical and the digital world. The theoretical framework highlights the pedagogical potential of AR-based games, while also presenting the challenges that limit their integration into education. A review of related programs and training initiatives demonstrates the absence of structured guides that combine board games and augmented reality, particularly those designed to address the needs of teachers. The research part analyzes the design and implementation of the digital guide, which was organized as a six week training program hosted on Google Classroom. The guide is structured into distinct units, including a welcome and introduction, game design, development of digital content, creation of physical materials, presentation of the ARTutor platform, testing and reflection, and finally a concluding assessment. Through this progression, teachers are supported step by step in developing both the technical and pedagogical skills required for the creation of AR-enhanced board games. The final chapter presents the evaluation of the guide, identifies limitations, and proposes improvements and future directions for enrichment. Despite these constraints, the guide demonstrates coherence, clarity, and strong pedagogical grounding, offering a practical and accessible tool for educators. Overall, the thesis contributes to addressing an identified gap in the literature and in educational practice by providing teachers with an innovative and user friendly resource that fosters creativity and supports the design of experiential learning environments through augmented reality.
