AUGMENTED REALITY AND VIRTUAL REALITY IN CLASSROOM

This course offers educators useful knowledge on Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) techniques. It will provide educators with both theoretical and practical knowledge in order for them to be able to create and use AR and VR content during their teaching sessions with the aim to motivate and encourage their learners to reach their full potential. On the completion of the course, participants will have a better understanding of the concept and potential benefits of AR and VR use but they will also be able to create and apply AR and VR content during their teaching sessions, making learning process more engaging.

TARGET-GROUPS

This course is targeted at educators (pre-school, primary, secondary, vocational, adult, special needs) who would like to modernize their teaching methods and incorporate AR and VR technology into their lessons/sessions.

The course is focusing on the pedagogical use of AR and VR technology in the educational process. Each participant needs to bring his own mobile device and it is expected that each participant has basic knowledge of using his device before the course.

MAIN AIM

To improve educators’ scientific and pedagogical background through the use of modern teaching methods like Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR).

BENEFITS FOR THE PARTICIPANTS: SKILLS AND COMPETENCES ACHIEVED

This course provides the general knowledge and understanding required to offer educators the necessary skills to create and use Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) content during their teaching/training sessions. By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

understand the usability of AR and VR techniques
understand the advantages and disadvantages of AR and VR usages in educational processes
apply AR and/or VR concept in education process
learn how AR and VR can be used to support learning
use new technology possibilities in a much larger degree, boosting their learners’ digital skills

METHODOLOGY

The course uses participatory approaches as much as possible. A variety of methodologies will be used, including lecture/presentation, discussions, group work, questions and answers, demonstrations, and practical sessions (hands-on practice).
Participants will be given a hard copy of the material presented during the course.
Each participant will be assessed throughout the course.
