Reflection Prompts
Do you have any past experience in creating AR experiences? What opportunities were afforded by using AR technology?
Other than the identified critiques of using AR in an educational context, are there any barriers you could anticipate to incorporating AR into your personal practice?
Now that AR has become more prevalent on mobile devices, are you more or less likely to incorporate AR into your practice? Why or why not?
How do you foresee mobile technology-based AR's role in education? In society?
How do you think that AR experiences will shape what we consider to be a traditional classroom environment?
How would you forecast the future of AR in an educational context?
This OER was created by Agnes Garrioch and Braden Litt for the A2: Open Education Resource task of ETEC 523: Mobile and Open Education, as part of the Masters of Educational Technology program at the University of British Columbia.
