1.1 Introduction to Augmented Reality

Imagine you could bring photos in a textbook to life, where animations, videos, and other content can all emerge from the pages. Imagine bringing students to a museum, peering inside a human body, or zooming through the solar system without ever leaving the class. And imagine you could do all this with just a smartphone or tablet. It’s not just something to imagine – these possibilities are here with Augmented Reality (AR). So what is AR, and how can you and your students use it?

In this module, we’ll be taking you through how to integrate AR into your classroom, including:

  1. How to compare and contrast AR apps
  2. How to evaluate and select AR Apps for classroom use
  3. How to create an original student-centered lesson plan using AR tools for both instruction and assessment
