Customizing your Textbooks with AR!
Textbooks are awesome. Almost everyone uses them. But sometimes they don’t cover the material in the same way you are or they aren’t as clear, customized or interactive as we wish they were. However, adding augmented reality, or AR, can take these static textbooks and give them all the customization and interactivity that you and your students need.
BLIPPBUILDER
With the free BlippBuilder online, faculty, teachers, and students can create their own augmented reality experiences. It’s as easy as:
- Take a picture of a textbook page or other item.
- Use BlippBuilder to add interactive elements such as images, video or text.
- Publish it.
Any user with the Blippar app can then scan the item and access all of the interactive links.
Here are some examples:
- Add a video lecture to a section of the textbook where students have difficulty understanding a concept.
- Update an outdated section of a textbook with a more current or relevant example.
- Create solution videos for difficult problems from the textbook that outlines how to solve the problems correctly.
- Add explanation videos or audio files to poster sessions.
- Create read-alongs for children’s books for your young students.
- Add supplemental material to anything to further explain or enhance it.
Really you are only constrained by your own imagination.
