The current e-learning technology has a limitation; such as lack of interactivity, lack of interest and lack immobility which decrease students’ attention in using it. In realizing the element of student attention; this article will propose the model integration of mobile learning through Augmented Reality by incorporating student attention elements. In validating the model integration, this study developed the AR prototypes that called AF-LAR (Animal Fun Learning - Augmented Reality) through handheld display. AF-LAR is the AR Book that implements learning through mobile devices that enable students to bring and access the learning content anywhere, ubiquitously without limitation of space. AF-LAR was developed using Metaio and Junaio channel and the design is incorporated with visual learner styles and the visualization approach .The subject of “Science and Technology” is used as a syllabus to implement the learning content through AF-LAR. Descriptive statistic was used as a method to validate the prototype based on model integration. The result of this study is evaluated using Keller’s Motivation ARCS Model which deriving the Attention element ;perceptual arousal (PA),inquiry arousal (IA) and variability (V) to prove the student attention from the prototypes based on the five experts as a targeted respondent which fulfill some of the criteria.
