Technology is always growing and adapting depending on what people need and for what they're willing to pay. AR and VR technologies, while initially popular in video gaming, are starting to be adapted for broader use. Generation Z, or young people born around the mid-'90s to the mid-'00s, have grown up using tech not unlike this from a younger age than previous generations. Because of this, they are in a good position to experience the positive benefits from using AR and VR in their education. Given that Gen Z is poised to enter adulthood, it is critical to ensure that they have the best possible tools to be successful. The best place to start is by understanding what these tools are and how they can help. What are AR and VR? VR is Virtual Reality: This is a fairly broad term that refers to the use of computer programs to create a virtual experience for the user through screens and interactive parts. You have probably heard of VR headsets, which many...

5 ways AR and VR learning tools serve as beneficial learning tools for Gen Z 1. Helping students focus 2. Bridging language barrier 3. Encourages inclusivity 4. Makes learning easy and fun 5. Leaves room for practice and exploration 6. 4 Factors to consider before integrating AR/VR learning tools in your institution     (i)  Content     (ii)  Digital know-how    (iii)  Budget    (iv)  Usage Wthin conventional classrooms in which teachers rely on written materials, white/blackboards, laboratories etc., they find it difficult to keep the attention of Gen-Z students. Therefore, it is time for schools to consider the technological advancement EdTech brings to the table. If you want to continue advancing the classroom learning experience, you need sustainable EdTech tools. However, the learning needs of young learners exist in a state of constant flux of change. Therefore, EdTech tools that do not offer some form of practicality a...

The objective of education is to help people learn, understand, and remember things. In the digital era, modern gadgets can be a major source of distractions. Hence, innovating new ways to make lessons interactive and improving student engagement has become increasingly difficult. However, utilizing cutting-edge technologies like virtual and augmented reality in learning can make education fun, interactive, and engaging. VR and AR have the potential to revolutionize the way we teach and learn. According to a  study , virtual and augmented reality in the education market will grow from $9.3 billion in 2018 to $19.6 billion by 2023, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 16.2%. It shows many educational institutions are becoming more receptive to the idea of virtual and augmented reality learning. Read on to learn how to use virtual and augmented reality in learning and their benefits. How to Apply AR & VR in Learning Here are some interesting use cases of VR and AR in learni...

Today's complex needs require us to process a great and increasing amount of content. This intricate development has pushed the academic community to navigate from predominantly text-based content to a visual content environment. However, our educational system continues to be heavily reliant on plain text to convey the message. Augmented Reality can add immense value to the time spent by students and teachers by enriching static text-based and image-based content with rich, lucid explanations and relevant examples . Use cases of Augmented Reality for education in the classroom Here are some scenarios that detail how Augmented Reality can be used in education to bring static content to life.  Understanding human anatomy Exploring the sky and universe Solving math problems Explaining complex science topics Visualizing engineering concepts Learn to paint using AR Learn using gamified content using AR Discover biology concepts Create and engage in virtual worlds Collaborate and design...

How has the history of education evolved in recent times? With the invention of paper and the printing press, it became easy to communicate ideas, and the shelf-life of those ideas was extended from a few months to a few years . When the digital medium of transmission came of age, communication and, more importantly, education evolved and made the magic leap from print to digital and from 2D to 3D in the form of animations and online videos. The past few decades saw great strides happening in the field of online education in the form of interactive whiteboards and simulations, educational games, online blackboards, and classrooms permeating the educational sphere. Students transitioned from using traditional pen and paper to using online desktops and laptops with their keyboards, mice, and of late, mobile phones and tablets to get on the technological wave. These technological breakthroughs helped students and teachers to digitally communicate their ideas. However, any interaction that...
