Augmented Reality: A new way of augmented learning. Augmented learning is defined as an on-demand learning technique where the learning environment adapts to the needs and inputs from learners [1].
Broadly speaking, "environment" here does not have to be constrained into the physical learning environment such as classroom, but could refer to such learning environment as digital learning environment, through which learners can stimulate discovery and gain greater understanding. The technologies conventionally used for augmented learning incorporate touchscreens, voice recognition, and interaction, through which the learning contents can be geared toward learner's needs by displaying plain texts, images, audio and video output.
For example, in mobile reality system, the annotation may appear on the learner's individual "heads-up display" or through headphones for audio instruction [2]. How Augmented Reality Can Change Teaching - Getting Smart by Guest Author - AI, apps for learning, augmented reality, EdTech, science learning, STEM. By Ken Myers The technology behind Augmented Reality is taking a real-world view and enhancing it with computer-generated imagery.
Whether this is done by using a computer monitor and camera or fitted goggles to imprint imagery in the lenses, augmenting in this manner has great possibilities for a variety of tasks. Educators of all kinds are implementing this technology and the progress has been nothing short of excellent. 20 Augmented Reality Experiments in Education. Have you looked into augmented reality and what is being done with it to redefine education?
I found this blog post from onlineuniversities.com very interesting. We are usually focused on how social learning (LMS) technology is making a difference in training and education programs in organizations of all sizes, anywhere in the world, but it is important to stay on top of creative trends growing in popularity. Augmented reality is one of those trends. Check out the full article below: Augmented reality is exactly what the name implies — a medium through which the known world fuses with current technology to create a uniquely blended interactive experience. Second Life:Because it involves a Stephenson-esque reality where anything can happen, Second Life proved an incredibly valuable tool for educators hoping to reach a broad audience — or offering even more ways to learn for their own bands of students.

Morton Heilig, the "Father of Virtual Reality," patented the Sensorama Stimulator, which he called an "experience theater," on Aug. 28, 1962. Over time, the idea of using technology to create a layer over the real world has been honed and refined and put in our palms, thanks to the proliferation of smartphones. Zappar App – Augmented reality in Science « Smarter Learning. Using Zappar is like opening up another dimension where the world around you comes to life – just point your device at any Zappar powered image or object and watch video, games and 3D animation magically appear before your eyes!
I recently used the Zappar app to enhance the learning experience for Year 7 students to enhance the normal flame testing activity. When planning the lesson I was a little concerned that using the iPads at the same time as a practical would not work, but it was really successful. Students were given mystery chemicals to identify (A-F), using a flow chart to find links between flame colour and element symbols. One member of the practical group was then appointed to use the Zappar app to check the flame colour and find out which element the chemical symbol was for. The flow chart stage could even be bypassed in the future going straight from the identification of flame colour to the Zappar app. Aurasma. Aurasma Demo.

Talvella 1995-96 olin kurssisihteerinä yliopiston täydennyskoulutuskeskuksessa ja sain osallistua internetin perusteiden kurssille.
Muistan hyvin sen tunteen, kun ymmärsin, että netin kautta pääsen minne vain. This TARDIS replica really is bigger on the inside. I read the word MAYA and my pulse quickened, my breaths got shallower, and my grip on my coffee mug tightened.
I hate that program, even five years after I last used it. I know. I've touched it three times. Other than hair rendering, really, there's no reason TO touch it. The first 3d application I used when I was still in school was AutoCAD way back in the late 80's (dos based). 5 reasons to get excited about Augmented Reality in 2013. What's next in mobile?
