 * Basic AR and Education**

Augmented Reality (AR) is a field of research that has been around for decades but has recently become more accessible to the general public due to increasingly faster and more efficient technology as well as the increased availability of easy to use tools in the form of mobile device apps. Yet some students are not as familiar with the basics of AR and AR apps and how they are being used in educational ways. The goal of this course is to familiarize the target audience, the OTEC graduate student, with the basics of AR, to show them examples of how AR is being used in educational settings, and to have the experience of using an AR app to create a group final project.

I want the online course to have everything the learner requires (Assignments, reflections, Recaps) on one page for each week in this 5 week course. With the availability of a submenu that allows the learner to skip to various parts of the same page, the learner will not have to open outside links but can enter their assignments and reflections in embedded areas on the same page to minimize confusion. The page sections are color coded to the submenu and arrows at the end of each section allows the learner the option to skip back up to the top of the page for quick convenience in place of scrolling if they wish. The expected result is that the learner will have a more pleasing, easy to use Online Course experience with bite sized learning material with embedded user input available from one page for streamlining.
