Description

This training program is designed to equip educators, teachers, and professionals with the skills to use augmented reality (AR) in education effectively. It starts by building a solid foundation in AR, including its fundamental principles and how it differs from other technologies like Virtual Reality. Participants will gain an understanding of AR’s advantages and limitations in the educational context, learning to identify the best scenarios for its application to enhance learning outcomes.
The program emphasizes empowering educators to use AR to boost student learning and
motivation. Participants will explore pedagogical principles and strategies to create effective AR-based instructional designs. This aspect of the training helps educators align AR activities with educational goals and curriculum objectives, ensuring AR is used to its full potential in the classroom.
Finally, the course provides hands-on experience designing and implementing AR-based
activities.

Learning objectives

1.Improving Educational Opportunities with VR and AR
- Learn the benefits and immersive features of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR), comparing their potential to enhance student engagement and learning.
2. Understanding AR Features and Applications
- Explore key features of AR technology and how it overlays virtual elements in the real world to transform user interaction in educational contexts.
3. Managing AR Resources in Education
- Learn strategies for effectively integrating and managing AR digital resources and curating content to enhance teaching and learning experiences.
4. Finding and Using AR Tools in the Classroom
- Familiarize educators with various AR tools, applications, and devices, understanding their features and educational applications for improved classroom use.
5. Facilitating Deeper Learning with AR
- Discover how AR fosters deeper learning, critical thinking, and immersive environments, while providing practical tips for creating engaging learning scenarios.

Methodology & assessment

Monitoring:
Before the mobility, the participant will fill out an online questionnaire prepared by the
hosting organisation to define the actual training needs.
During the training, the participant will be monitored through peer reviews, simulation,
completed tasks and projects, and consultations with the mentor/teaching staff at the
hosting organisation.
Evaluation Format:
It includes knowledge assessments during the training through quizzes, practical exercises, collaborative projects, active in-class participation and peer feedback sessions. The evaluation format measures participants' readiness to integrate augmented reality into different subjects and classes.
Final Assessment
The participants are expected to design a lesson plan or class activity, integrating AR and a multiple-choice test on the topics is administered.

Materials, digital tools & other learning resources

This course provides teachers and educators with various materials, including guides, case studies, and practical examples, to effectively integrate augmented reality (AR) into teaching. Participants will explore AR and VR applications that foster active and engaging learning experiences. Through a combination of theoretical insights, simulations, and hands-on exercises, the course equips educators with actionable skills to enhance students' motivation and overall learning experience.

Certification details

The Hosting Organisation implements the recognition procedure for the training contents delivered and achieved. Successfully overcame the evaluation procedure before, during, and at the end of the training, the participants will receive an attendance certificate including detailed information about the course, e.g. title, program, and schedule by the hosting provider.
