Application of Augmented Reality has the potential to somewhat enhance traditional learning methods. Moreover, different Augmented Reality Apps not only present knowledge in a new and interactive way, but also make classroom education more fun.
You might argue that the world has produced geniuses long before we had such technologies such as Augmented Reality. But then you should ask yourself, given the huge number of young learners who have access to a Smartphone why shouldn’t we apply technologies such as Augmented Reality that makes education more fun. Maybe weak learners can pick up difficult concepts easily when they learn using Augmented Reality.
In this article, you will learn about Apps, both available for iOS and Android, that make subjects such as Chemistry, Human Anatomy, Space Science more fun to learn and explore.
Chem101
Chem101 is a classroom engagement app built specifically for college-level chemistry. With this App, you can say goodbye to static content and generic multiple choice questions and hello to dynamic problems that are designed to help students learn and visualize abstract concepts in chemistry.
