Augmented Reality for Contextual Learning

By 2025, augmented reality (AR) will emerge as a powerful tool for providing contextual learning experiences. Unlike virtual reality, which creates fully immersive environments, AR overlays digital information onto the real world, creating rich, interactive learning opportunities.

Applications of AR in academic interventions:

  • Interactive textbooks with 3D models
  • Real-world math and physics problem solving
  • Location-based historical or scientific information
  • Visual aids for abstract concepts

AR will be particularly effective in helping students connect abstract concepts to real-world applications. This contextual learning will improve understanding and retention, especially for visual and kinesthetic learners.

The challenge will be in developing high-quality AR content and ensuring equitable access to the necessary technology. Educators will need training in integrating AR experiences into their lessons effectively.
