AR-based Learning Kits

Time flies so fast that I didn't realized that I had so many things in the blog update list. But people say, it's better late than never, and I believe so :) 

Augmented Reality is no longer a new version of learning technology. Rather, most of us have at least heard about it somewhere. For this group of teacher-students (executive master class) , I gave them a challenge to design and develop an AR learning kits, based on any instructional design model that they chose. 

We had a good time listening and scanning the AR cards during the final presentation. They were unbelievably creative and awesome! Prior to AR-based learning kit presentation, there were also presentations on few topics. One of the groups brought a VR glass for others to try on. I was happy to learn that everybody seemed enthusiastic towards the sharing session. 

As for the AR-based learning kits - I received five kits that focused on various topics (students had a freedom to choose their own topic based on their areas/interest). 

We made a full use of face-to-face time that we had during the second meetings. Every group had to present their product, and acted like they were in a real competition. We moved form one station to another to listen and try out the AR materials. This presentation was not only to test the confident level of the students, but they were encouraged to give constructive feedback on how to improve the kits. Since there were rooms for improvement found, they decided to accept their existing product as a prototype. A final version (V.2) were then sent to my room no long from the presentation date. 

Congrats to all of you who made this activity a fun and exciting one! 
What is more interesting was the fact that - the development of these AR-based learning kits was done by following one ID Model (again students had a freedom to choose which model they wanted to use). I had a good time reading their written reflections on the whole process (each of them had to write a reflection not more than 4000 words at the end of the semester). Aha .. that's why I loveeee emic perspective research!! 

Will share the stories they wrote in the reflection seom other time. 

Phewww .. sorry that I took a loooooong time to write this post. 
See you in the next semester!! ^___^
