Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The topic is very interesting and it corresponds to the new trends in education - STEAM education, VR, AR, mixed reality, game-based learning.

It is very well structured, readable and written in good English. The experiment is described in depth and the results are presented in a scientific manner. 

The findings and the comments given by the participants give a valuable feedback about some problems and suggestions for improvements.

I find some little mistakes in the text highlighted in the file.

Reviewer 2 Report

Dear Stylianos and Athanasios,

I thought this was an overall excellent paper that built upon an original idea and was presented very well.  I have made some suggestions for minor changes and comments in the attached PDF file of your manuscript.  I don't believe any of these changes are significant and I would hope will not take long to make.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this work and I hope you find the comments and suggestions useful.

Kind regards,
