The document discusses considerations for using augmented reality (AR) in education, including identifying learning objectives before choosing tools, ensuring usability and low cost. It reviews literature finding AR can improve performance and engagement but more research is needed. Studies found AR increased motivation and engagement but also difficulties concentrating. The document advocates understanding desired learning experiences before choosing technologies and combining strong pedagogy with technologies for effective teaching and learning.

- 4. Lets start with a visualization exercise Try to ”see” with your minds eye Recall, Think of what is familiar to you Relate to material Link “new” to what you know Using and applying some educational theory to practice Lets start with what we know from educational and learning theory (in general), and from our own experience and observations
- 5. Lets ask some critical questions Does interest, attention, “engagement” = learning? and the ability to recall, use-apply, transfer to practice Does “liking’ = better learning and training outcomes? Does novelty, newness, eye-catching, “cool” = better? Does speed/efficiency = effectiveness? For example, reading and learning from printed text vs digital? (digital review quicker, equal for getting gist, but print better for deeper meaning, unless digital review is slow(ed) down) https://theconversation.com/the-enduring-power-of-print-for-learning-in-a-digital-world-84352 Time on Task Active, Collaborative/ Interactive, Contextual (for transfer), Reflective Multimedia/ Illustrations/ Video
