Augmented Reality in Education #AR

 How does it apply to education?
More specifically AR allows the student to visualise a concept, review a physical item, or access extra information all within the real world environment. Authenticity and context are common words used throughout AR literature. These terms highlight AR’s ability to tie-in with real world situations. This suggests AR has roots in constructivism theory however AR more completely aligns with Kolb’s (Knowles, Holton, & Swanson, 2005) experiential learning model. Applying this model it can be seen that AR allows students to have Kolb’s ‘concrete experiences’ and connect these to their own understanding, all within a safe (in a physical and educational sense) environment.
