Construction of learning objects with Augmented Reality: An experience in secondary education

Abstract

One of the technologies that has been showing possibilities of application in educational environments is the Augmented Reality (AR), in addition to its application to other fields such as tourism, advertising, video games, among others. The present article shows the results of an experiment carried out at the National University of Colombia, with the design and construction of augmented learning objects for the seventh and eighth grades of secondary education, which were tested and evaluated by students of a school in the department of Caldas. The study confirms the potential of this technology to support educational processes represented in the creation of digital resources for mobile devices. The development of learning objects in AR for mobile devices can support teachers in the integration of information and communication technologies (ICT) in the teaching-learning processes.
