Nowadays, we use technologies in modern education. One of these technologies is augmented reality, which allows overlaying layers of virtual information on real scene with the aim of increasing the perception the user has of reality. I have some questions: which mobiles apps do you use on your Physics classes? Which way? Which mobile app would you like to use but still did not find? What do you think about augmented reality in education is it useful? (I am interested in any student's ages).
Thank you in advance.
Greetings Iryna Pakhomova:
There are two great AR applications out right now that the lab I run has explored.
CoSpaces
https://cospaces.io/edu/
This is one that I immediately thought of when i saw this question. A colleague of mine has been using it in their after school program for high schoolers and it’s working wonders. We recently took it to an event with ‘girls who code’ and the middle school kids immediately started using it to customize the space.

(link to app in details on YouTube.)
This is a bit more informal, but story telling and interactivity is possibly the best way to teach IMHO. The target market is pretty obvious, but my reserchers want to make stories for a platform like this.
Hope this helps you you and others!
Warmly,

Hi Iryna,
I encourage you to look at my research database at Fabric https://fabricofdigitallife.com/. It includes several collections geared to AR/VR and pedagogy, in terms of experiencing content and also designing it:
1. Human-centered design for Augmented Reality (AR)
https://fabricofdigitallife.com/index.php/Browse/objects/facet/collection_facet/id/20
Curator: Isabel Pedersen, UOIT | March 2018 and ongoing
This collection grows out of an augmented reality research collaboration between by Ann Hill Duin, Ph.D. (University of Minnesota), Dawn Armfield, Ph.D. (Minnesota State University), and Isabel Pedersen, Ph.D. (University of Ontario Institute of Technology). It will complement a panel presentation at the 2018 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (ProComm) in Toronto, and a corresponding paper EXPERIENCING CONTENT: HEURISTICS FOR HUMAN-CENTERED DESIGN FOR AUGMENTED REALITY To be published in the conference proceedings.
This collection is organized using an evolving metadata that informs a growing heuristic for Augmented Reality (AR) designers, developers, usability experts, students and professional communicators. It begins with human-centricity as a design premise or a "design strategy". The collection charts new developments across corporate and academic innovations, many still in prototype, using specialized keywords and descriptions.
2. Virtual Reality and Pedagogy (2017)
https://fabricofdigitallife.com/index.php/Browse/objects/facet/collection_facet/id/19
Curator: Robyn Lee, University of Alberta | December 2017
Virtual Reality (VR) is increasingly being used in a wide array of educational disciplines, at levels ranging from elementary to graduate school. From practical training to thinking through complex social problems, there are many opportunities to use VR to positively impact teaching and learning.
Hello Evangelia Skaraki,
I do agree but in my case we created some apps which do not need the connection with the internet. If you loaded it to your device after you should not use the internet.
Have a nice day!
