E-Learning-Inclusivo (Mashup)

Augmented reality has a huge potential for us in education. It helps engage students in hands-on and immersive learning experiences and boosts their self-directed learning and "their social and emotional connections to curricular topics".  A few days ago I shared with you a number of AR resources including Apple's guide: Augmented Reality in Education and a review of two powerful AR science apps. In today's post I am sharing more resources to help you make the best of AR in your classroom.

Un día, los smartphones, tal como los conocemos, van a desaparecer. El ruido (o vibración) de las notificaciones constantes se convertirá en un recuerdo distante, al igual que ocurrió con los beepers o el sonido de las máquinas de fax en su momento. Al menos es lo que creen diferentes expertos de la industria tecnológica. Algunos apuestan por que eso ocurrirá dentro de una década y otros, un lustro, pero coinciden en que el camino para la eventual sustitución de los teléfonos inteligentes por otro tipo de tecnología está siendo construido por gigantes como Microsoft, Amazon, Elon Musk y Facebook.

Last year, Walmart introduced virtual reality (VR) to the world of employee training and development by using the technology to upgrade training at Walmart Academies across the US. It wasn’t clear at the time if the initiative would work, but it was a bold experiment using a technology that is still only emerging. It seems, though, that the program has been a success because only two weeks ago, Walmart announced that it was extending it, and providing Oculus VR headsets to all its stores in the US to bring the same level of training to more than one million

EON Reality Inc., the world leader in Virtual Reality based knowledge transfer for industry, education, and edutainment, announces the Augmented Virtual Reality (AVR) Knowledge Grant, which offers innovative academic institutions a matching grant to deploy a turn-key VR and AR education solution and co-develop content for Educational and Smart Nation applications. This grant focuses on bringing the necessary infrastructure to Colleges and Universities so they can incorporate Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) learning modules into their classes and improve the educational experience of their students.
