I’m stubbornly intrigued by the educational potential of augmented reality.
Yes, I know that these technology-first educational fantasies always end in tears.
My generation has suffered through iPods, Second Life, netbooks, 3D printing, tablets, phablets, learning objects, and personalized learning environments.
I continue to hold hope that in the future analytics, MOOCs, simulations, and adaptive learning platforms will democratize learning, bend the postsecondary price curve, and cure the higher ed cost disease. (They won’t).
So it is with the excitement of one whose salary depends on not understanding something (thank you Upton Sinclair), that I introduce the Air New Zealand HoloLens model for the future of residential education.
Perhaps you will take the time to watch the 1 minute 42 second video on YouTube:
