Introducing Students to Web Engineering Topics by Teaching Web Augmentation

Abstract

Web augmentation has gained prominence as a promising approach to elevate the user experience by tailoring web content to meet diverse user needs and preferences. It offers the potential to enhance accessibility and personalization, making web experiences more engaging and inclusive. This research study examines the use of web augmentation in the context of web engineering education and its influence on student motivation. The study investigates how the integration of web augmentation techniques motivates students and enhances their learning experience. A questionnaire was administered to gather data on student perceptions and motivation levels following their exposure to web augmentation in the web engineering subject. The findings reveal that the implementation of web augmentation in the web engineering subject has positively motivated students. Students express a strong preference for web augmentation as a learning tool, citing increased engagement and a more interactive learning environment. The findings support the adoption of web augmentation techniques as a valuable pedagogical tool, enhancing the learning experience and fostering student engagement. This study contributes to the field by addressing the gap in related work that focuses on the use of web augmentation specifically in educational settings.
