Integrating the Augmented Reality Technology (AR) in Education

Description: In this era of distractions, it might be easy to catch the attention of learners but keeping them engaged throughout the learning session remains the biggest challenge. Thus, the need arises for a solution that can boost learners’ engagement and, hence, make learning more productive and worthwhile. Immersive learning is a technique that makes use of an artificial or simulated environment through which the learners can become completely immersed in the learning process; it has the potential to bring abstract learning scenarios to life. One of the ways of integrating the immersive learning technique in the classroom is by using the Augmented Reality (AR) technology that adds digital elements to reality to enhance it.
