Augmented Reality (AR) in Education: Enhancing Learning Experiences
Abstract
Augmented Reality (AR) is enhancing learning experiences by merging the physical and digital worlds to engage and educate students. This paper explores the significance of AR in education, emphasizing its role in interactive simulations, immersive storytelling, and skill development. It delves into various aspects, including AR applications, hardware devices, and educational content creation. The discussion includes the benefits of AR in education, such as improved retention, student engagement, and real-world application of knowledge. Moreover, the paper addresses the challenges and considerations in implementing AR in educational settings, including accessibility, content quality, and teacher training. Through a review of educational AR projects and pedagogical studies, the study highlights the positive outcomes associated with the integration of AR in education, including enhanced learning outcomes and student motivation.
