AugmentED: Empowering Learning with AR and AI Tools

Harness the transformative potential of Augmented Reality (AR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in your classroom with AugmentED, an immersive and ERASMUS+ funded professional development program for educators.  This dynamic program equips you with the knowledge and skills to create captivating, interactive learning experiences that engage students in a whole new dimension.

Unleash the Magic of Augmented Reality:

AR overlays virtual information and digital content onto the real world, revolutionizing education by bridging the gap between the physical and digital. Imagine students dissecting virtual organisms, exploring the ocean depths, or examining historical artifacts – all within the classroom! AR brings complex subjects to life through interactive 3D objects, visualizations, and simulations, fostering deeper understanding and igniting student imaginations.

Empower Yourself with Artificial Intelligence:

AI is changing the game for educators. By automating administrative tasks like grading and scheduling, AI frees you to focus on what matters most – teaching and mentoring. AI also empowers you to create dynamic, adaptive lesson plans and materials that cater to individual student needs, ultimately improving learning outcomes for all.

Join the AugmentED Community:

Embark on this transformative journey with AugmentED.
