36. Augmented Reality
in Education

37. 2010 and 2011Horizon Reports
predict that the
use of simple
augmented
reality in
education will
be widespread
within 2 to 3
years.

38. Why Using AR in Education?
• Provides rich contextual learning
• Appeals to constructivist notions of education where
students take control of their own learning
• Provides opportunities for more authentic learning and
appeals to multiple learning styles
• Provides each student with his/her own unique discovery
path
• Engages a learner in ways that have never been possible
• No real consequences if mistakes are made during skills
training
