Augmented Reality in Future Classrooms

Augmented Reality (AR) is a powerful tool that can transform education system and solve the world’s biggest issues if you used in the right way. Technology has already been adopted into the education systems and the future option in these technologies in life and classrooms has already been foreseen. The only way to make it effective and easy adoption is to accept the possibility that it can change the system in place positively. AR can be necessary in terms of learning productivity and human connection to the real world. Many essential information can be neglected in this current state of education system, whereby information is pushed to the students and not really making it to real connection of learning, mostly students learn through practical and visual content, and thereby multimedia principles and theories positively impacting the education system.

AR can be used in different aspects of learning through research, labs and even in classrooms where students are given the chance to virtually interact the content and have first-hand experience. This will help in memory retentions and troubleshoot misunderstanding issues at the right time. Some of the material taught in school can be challenging to grasp in traditional classroom setting and need to further present activities that can enhance comprehension and challenge the brain to view in different perspective.

The video below discusses good examples of how AR can transform the education system if used properly.
