Summary: Google Project Glass is accurate. Beyond trade issues, the grouping of the key features of Google in the new terminal, and the future development of this app suitable for digital prosthesis could eventually revolutionize learning and make these glasses a major player in the education 2.0. Focus.
Education – MountainView firm began broadcasting his glasses with developers Glass Explorers project. While most incredible assumptions swarm on the net about new uses of these disruptive glasses, it now appears certain that they will impact our singularly to learning and education. Drawing on the main characteristics of these glasses increased and existing technologies, here are some areas where they play a decisive role.
General Learning
combination of features search text / sound / visual or facial recognition on the one hand, and increased information display of each other, can meet all the general problem of learning and offer a unique educational experience.
What we learn history and geography or physics, the glasses can be used to supplement courses taught by contextualizing the object.
- providing information on the location of the event, date, or time, or geopolitical data (such as those available on the CIA Factbook).
- for accessing data from Wikipedia, strengthening the existing relationship in Knowledge Graph .
- accessing databases and educational holdings including all schools and places of learning will provide (if not already), allowing access to multimedia illustration, exercises , examples.
- directing students towards innovative digital spaces as MOOC .
Language learning
Google tools already allow to instantly translate text, but also sounds using voice search.
Disruptive glasses would:
- instant translation in text mode or via voice search.
- access audio in the translated texts.
Computer Assisted Learning
app can scan and save the duty of the pupil / student when he writes, and then provide an instant valuation on exercise (dictation, grammar, math) would as learning foreign languages, mother tongue than most other courses , and transform the glasses used for self-assessment and computer-assisted instruction.
This perspective allow the development of distance education and training different audiences, a growing need in a changing society and rapidly changing.
Technical Learning and Simulation
But if
general learning can easily be increased, réorchestrant existing services, it is in the context of practical and technical education that Google Glass could reveal all their disruptive potential. They could, for example, seriously compete WBNS (Wearable Behavior Navigation System) , a technology introduced and honored at the Netexplo 2012, which allows the user to make the right moves, through a controlled by an expert (but which could replace a video tutorial) simulator.
viewing “right thing” augmented reality would give a new impetus to the teaching practice , learning driving or driving to the medical, scientific practices, mechanical, and even sports, the student who only follow the maneuvers he sees on his screen while executing them in real time. Technology simulation / visualization can find many opportunities in the business and industrial setting.
term teaching practice aided simulation would see the development of a new range of content on the web, especially in everyday use such as cooking, DIY, DIY or “doityourself”, the list is well obviously not exhaustive.
overall change
uses seem unlimited. The sick student attend courses remotely by connecting the video stream streamed another student in a course revisionnage delayed to understand all or part of a specific point, or activation an accompanying / specific support for difficult course program, we see that the possibilities are potentially endless.
Side teachers, one can easily imagine the use of these teaching aids, to tap into document databases or in the common educational funds, offer courses, illustrations and exercises. But they also would manage practical issues such as finding the classroom, contact a technician to a question, “make the call” in a nod to the facial recognition software based students present username, or instant access to the evaluation of the student book questioned.
Although it may seem futuristic, computer-assisted instruction that works is-already-the fruit existing technologies remains to orchestrate and deploy . The biggest challenge will be for educational organizations to create and organize educational funds and new curricula, and implement proper systems and structures of information technology (on the model of MOOCs). To acquire data processing and documentation and deploy an educational cloud will be less complicated (and expensive) for a nation or a university to change the habits of teachers and students! And when it’s done, no doubt that all users will be conquered.
