Augmented Reality: Revolutionary or Disruptor of Training and Assessment

Augmented reality (AR) has the potential to revolutionize training and assessment. This technology
innovation superimposes computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS
data onto a live or indirect view of a physical, real-world environment. The increasing need to scale
education-based interactive learning to larger audiences thus mitigating the larger development
costs, is where AR has a few potential revolutionary and disruption attributes that must be
considered.
Learning Objectives
Assessment needs to be done rigorously and methodologically, and AR technologies can provide
multiple avenues to achieve this goal. Recall of knowledge is no longer a viable method to provide
accurate validation of mastery. In order to assess competency, we need to understand what does
the learner need to know and be able to do and then demonstrate their ability to perform these
tasks. We will offer multiple solutions to this disruptor.
Privacy and security of the data con be compromised using AR technologies. A few of the risks to
be discussed are identity theft, invasion of privacy, and unequal access, thus increasing the
inequality divide. We will lead a discussion of the avenues to reduce these risks.
On the positive side we offer a number of effective solutions that lead to the demonstration of
mastery. Using AR technology to disseminate education is a way to teach thousands of users across
the globe while eliminating barriers to access, reducing costs, and ensuring consistency in quality
and delivery.

2001: A Space Odyssey is a 1968 epic science fiction film produced and directed by Stanley Kubrick.
What are the applications that Kubrick envisioned 51 years ago that are now becoming mainstream?

AI involves machines that can perform tasks
that are characteristic of human intelligence.

But while the science is still maturing, the consequences of our free
will (is) being manipulated —Yuval Noah Harari called this “Hacking
Humans” —pose a great risk within our society.
An organization may endeavor “to create an algorithm that
understands me better than I understand myself, and can therefore
manipulate me, enhance me, or replace me.”

•How much practice do people need? A lot. Here are some of the reasons people need
a lot of practice:
•People must connect what we are teaching with what they know. It isn’t a simple
matter.
•Human memory is slow and gets overloaded quickly. Overloading means little or no
learning can happen.
•When bombarded with a lot of information, people forget most of it.
•The training methods that help people learn, remember, and maintain knowledge and
skills are not used. We must use them!
Research tells us the right type of practice:
1.Has specific goals.
2.Matches the challenge level to current skill level and prior knowledge.
3.Offers adequate practice to meet the goals.
4.Supplies the right kinds of feedback.

Micro-learninghas emerged as a methodology to provide just-in-time training
and assessment for a specific job function. These short simulations where users must
demonstrate their mastery of a completed task is rapidly becoming a required feature
in corporate training.
Characteristics of Microlearning
Regardless of whether it is used informally or as part of a structured
learning experience, microlearning has a few consistent features.
• Brevity: Microlearning events are short, though there is no
defined duration.
• Granularity: Due to their brevity and purpose, microlearning
focuses on a narrow topic, concept or idea.
• Variety: Microlearning content can be in the form of a
presentation, activity, game, discussion, video, quiz, book
chapter, or any other format from which someone learns.

What about a cognitive warmup!

Integration of computers, head-mounted displays, body-tracking
sensors, specialized interface devices and 3D graphics is changing
how students learn and perform. By creating Sentience we now
have the capacity to feel, perceive or experience subjectively.
By the end of 2019 over 2.2 Billion people will have devices
that will be AR enabled to engage learning in 3D depth.

Multi-Sensory Learning
Multisensory learning is when a student has multiple senses stimulated at the same time. When
learning, the body can use each sensory system in order to receive information:
•Vision (sight)
•Auditory (hearing)
•Gustatory (taste)
•Olfaction (smell)
•Vestibular (balance/movement)
•Somatic sensation (touch)
Most students have a learning type- a way of receiving information that is optimal to their given
personality and cognition.

Research shows that when we repeat information well, with timed intervals between,
and we ask people questions (to force our brains to “retrieve” information), we actually
create new learning pathways, just the same way we learn certain “on the job skills”
through practice, repetition, and continuous questioning about why something didn’t
work. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0749596X06001367

In augmented reality, the user is immersed by an
interactive application, but the application is related
to the real world. It augments, it enhances the
world around us.
AR applications have to be interactive, which means
they have to respond to user actions in as natural a
way as possible. Immediate feedback upon user
actions is critical for successful AR experience. Every
virtual reality experience has to have three
components:
• A virtual world
• An interaction
• Immersion
