3 IN 1: ICT TOOLS, AUGMENTED REALITY & 3D PRINTING IN EDUCATION

3 IN 1: ICT TOOLS, AUGMENTED REALITY & 3D PRINTING IN EDUCATION

Course Duration: 5 days
Course Fee: 400€

This course will help you understand how ICT tools can be integrated into the class activities, how to use augmented reality applications in class, and how 3D printing is being applied across several domains, including design, manufacturing, and retailing.
Using ICT effectively in classes is one of the main concerns of 21st-century teaching and learning strategies. Choosing the best tools to motivate 21st-century students to learn actively and effectively is the focus of course 3 in 1.
Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that allows computer-generated virtual imagery information to be overlaid onto a live direct or indirect real-world environment in real-time. Professionals and researchers have striven to apply AR to classroom-based learning within subjects like chemistry, mathematics, biology, physics, astronomy, and other K-12 education or higher, and to adapt it into augmented books and student guides.
The session related to 3D Printing will also provide an overview of design thinking and how you can use this framework to develop ideas that can be turned into objects. Learners who complete this course will obtain a rich understanding of the capabilities of 3D printing and how to think about designing objects for this new technology as well as how to integrate the ICT tools and AR into their classes.
