PTAS funding awarded: EdAR - Augmented & Mixed Reality Education Pilots project

 

Lead by Dr Andrew Sherlock, School of Engineering, the Centre for Research in Digital Education will contribute to this project to improve understanding of teaching, learning and assessment through augmented and mixed reality.

Augmented Reality (AR) allows digital content to be overlaid onto the physical environment, typically on devices such as glasses, tablets and smartphones.   More recently, semi-immersive Mixed Reality (MR) devices, usually headsets (e.g. Microsoft Hololens), allow 3D holograms to be placed in the physical environment.

The Principal’s Teaching Award Scheme (PTAS) project ‘Lecture Recording for Inclusive Education' examines the impact of lecture recording on the inclusivity of teaching and learning at the university.  The research team has been interviewing students and staff across the institution, reflecting on inclusion (of themselves and others) and commenting on perceived benefits and drawbacks related to the lecture recording service.
