Pioneering Augmented Reality in Education: A Transnational Collaboration
Join us for an inspiring First Transnational Meeting in Slovenia, marking the kick-off of a groundbreaking initiative to integrate Augmented Reality (AR) into educational practices.
Meeting Overview
Duration & Attendees:
This crucial 3-day meeting will bring together three teachers from each partner country, fostering a collaborative international environment.
Venue: Slovenia, known for its innovative educational landscape, provides the perfect backdrop for this pioneering venture.
Core Objectives
Mastering AR Tools and Applications:
Participants will immerse themselves in learning and mastering various AR tools, including Unity, Vuforia, Wikitude, Blender, and The Maxima.
This skill-building phase is essential for teachers to effectively integrate AR technology into their teaching methodologies.
Creating an AR-based Escape Room:
A central project of this meeting is to collaboratively design an AR-based Escape Room.
This interactive educational tool aims to motivate and engage students, making learning both fun and impactful.
Story and Content Development:
Teams will focus on developing the narrative and content for the Escape Room, ensuring it aligns with professional educational objectives.
The goal is to create an immersive learning experience that is both relevant and academically enriching.
Design and Testing of AR Applications:
Participants will engage in hands-on sessions to design AR applications suitable for both Android and iOS platforms.
Testing and refining these applications ensure their practicality and effectiveness in real classroom settings.
AR-enhanced Tourist Guides:
Discussion and planning for the creation of AR-enhanced tourist guides by each partner organization.
These guides will be showcased during the hosting of future Learning, Teaching, and Training Activities (LTTAs) and meetings, exemplifying the practical applications of AR in various contexts.
Meeting Outcomes
This First Transnational Meeting sets the stage for innovative educational exploration. By equipping teachers with AR competences and collaboratively developing engaging educational tools, we aim to pave the way for modernized teaching approaches. The creation of AR-based educational materials, such as the Escape Room and tourist guides, will serve as benchmarks for integrating technology into learning environments across Europe.
Join us in Slovenia for this trailblazing event, where we unite to redefine educational boundaries through the power of Augmented Reality.
