▶Objectives
Raise schools' awareness of AR potential to enhance teaching and learning. Provide teachers and students with the skills and knowledge necessary to embed AR in all teaching and learning. Support the alignment of AR with the school's existing resources to make them accessible to all. Promote inclusion in accessing educational content through multilingual and multicultural content. Provide teachers and students with the knowhow to produce and maintain cost-effective hardware for AR delivery.
▶Activities
The project will implement online training workshops for teachers supported by a comprehensive toolkit of theory and methodology in AR implementation. This methodology will be piloted in school with assessment tools made available to assess the project's effectiveness. A dedicated website will be made available throughout and act as a platform for resources and complementary apps. Transnational workshops will be held both in person and online to monitor the ongoing progress of the project.
▶Impact
Implementation of accessible and cost-effective AR across school curricular will significantly enhance students' engagement and provide a powerful tool for making learning experiences real and meaningful. The project will provide a lasting website platform through which schools can share knowledge, ideas and experiences. Educators will have a greater awareness of the technology and acquire the skills to maintain and adapt AR delivery over time. Inclusion in learning will be greatly enhanced.
