What is AR?
Augmented reality (AR) is an important technology to enhance learning experiences. Many studies have been conducted to establish the tendencies, affordances and challenges of this technology in educational settings.
“Learning gain is the most common reported advantage. Studies stated that, when using AR systems, students improve their academic performance. This improvement was reported not only by data, but also for different teachers and the students themselves. Among others, Chang et al. (2013) mentioned an academic activity held in South Korea, which focused on the integration of AR to assist students learning of socio-scientific issues. They demonstrated that students guided through AR obtained better scores than those who were guided through traditional approaches.”
The Future of VR & AR in Education
VR & AR are Changing the Educational System
- Help students focus
- Eliminate language barriers
- Ease and improve the learning process
- Contribute to inclusivity
- Focus on exploration and practice
Create knowledge with augmented reality
Authenticity of learning environment is a feature that top instructional designers strive to pursue. Re-creating work environments through scenes and recreating workplace interactions through avatars and characters are some of the efforts to create experiences and opportunities for exploration. 3D simulation and conversational communication are also popular in successful learning experiences. Instead of creating a new world of learning, augmented reality expands the possibilities of education in the real world. Augmented reality provides the above in real or real-time Settings. Learners are no longer the receivers of information, but manipulate and construct new knowledge and environment. Augmented reality is an advanced form of learning that promotes knowledge creation and smoothing.
