1. TEACHING LEARNING GOAL : Making students understand better, the disaster management concepts (causes, distribution pattern, consequences and mitigation measures.) in class 11 NCERT book named "Natural Hazards and Disaster Management".

2. PROJECT IDEA : Using AR to supplement the disaster management book with addition resources like videos, simulations etc.

3. WHAT STUDENTS NEED TO DO : Read text and watch images in the book, point camera on it, watch and interact with the augmented reality.

4. BENEFITS OF USING AR FOR THIS GOAL :
a. Students do not relate to or understand the concepts in the book only by reading or watching images, using AR, they can immediately relate to and have better understanding of what they are reading by watching some video or simulation or some other augmented reality visuals.

b. Engaging

c. AR will help in explaining those concepts of disaster management that can neither be understood just by reading or watching images nor practical demonstration is feasible.

5.LIMITATIONS : Availability of mobile phones to the school students.

ET-801 PROJECT IDEA 1 (Prachi Kulkarni)

2017-09-24 21:31:03 UTC

Broad Teaching Learning Goal- Enable students to apply image processing concepts and visually analyze their effects of any images using a GUI.
Activities- Visual understanding is very important in image processing. Students will use the GUI on images of their choice after/while reading the book to get a visual feel of how different concepts in image processing work.
Use of AR- Can't really think of how AR can be used here.
Limitations- Doesn't encourage coding. However, coding is the next step after this while learning image processing.

2017-09-24 21:40:43 UTC

Broad Teaching Learning Goal- Enable to students to get access to detailed solutions and interpretations to solved examples in Signals and Systems textbook.
Activities- Students use the tool as a textbook companion.
Use of AR- The detailed solution can appear in image-based AR with the example number acting as trigger. However, the augmented part would be very long and could consist of text and video, so the example number would pretty much act as a hyperlink

Allow students to learn about the evolution of computers and the different parts of a computer work together

Activities done by students:

1. Read brief history of computers

2. Point the camera on images to view the computers per each stage

3. Point the camera on images to view the working of a modern computer

Benefits of AR

With AR, students will be able to

1. Relate the types of computers they studied in static books and view them in 3D

2. View how each part of a computer works using the simulated environment

Limitations:

-Students will need mobile devices to use the technology

Project Idea I: Rohan Agrawal

2017-09-25 07:42:20 UTC

Broad Teaching Learning Goal:
Enable the students to understand the 3D structures (specially rotation) of organic chemistry molecules, help students to understand Steriochemistry Basics.

Target students:
Class X and XI Science students

What the students need to do:
1. Read up concepts about sterio-chemistry, understand the bonding in molecules (easy concepts, can be understood by reading itself)
2. Draw the 2D representation of the molecule they want to visualize in 3D.
3. Select from the given alternatives (markers, codes) regarding their molecule
4. Point the camera at the code
5. See and play around with the 3D representation and compare it with 2D representation (They have themselves drawn)
6. understand the rotation of molecules, motion of the bonds, etc in the AR

Benefits of Using AR:
The students can understand the motion and movement of each bond of the molecule when the AR is being played. The students can move back forth between the 2D representation and 3D one as many times as they want to.
Can study at their own pace.
Can understand the 3D structure quite easily as compared to ball and stick models, simulations, etc.
Simulation is again a 3D thing represented on a 2D screen, where as AR is kind of actual 3D environment (and that too which can be rotated, etc)

Limitations:
Students will have to create their 2D representation and match with the ones given for markers or codes.
only a limited no of molecules can be made into AR representations.
(the students have the flexibility to make any kind of structure from ball and stick plastic models), here they are restricted only to getting AR images of the structures which have been made earlier and markers have been created.

Project Idea II: Rohan Agrawal

2017-09-25 07:56:46 UTC

Broad Teaching Learning Goal:
Enable the students to understand atomic structure (from plum pudding to the quantum model Hydrogen only).

Target students:
Class XI and XII Science students

What the students need to do:
1. Read up concepts about atomic structure (timeline, chronology)
2. see the different models (Thomson Model, Rutherford Model, Bohr Model) in 2D format in the textbook.
3. Try forming a mental image of the model how that will look like in 3D. (Asking the students to specifically imagine how the electrons move about, in case of Bohr orbits, etc)
4. Point the camera at the corresponding code
5. See and play around with the 3D representation and compare it with 2D representation.
6. understand the rotation (if possible) and revolution of electrons, structure of the atom in AR
Benefits of Using AR:
The students can understand the motion and movement of electrons of the atom when the AR is being played. The students can move back forth between the 2D representation and 3D one as many times as they want to.
Can study at their own pace.
Can understand the 3D structure quite easily as compared to simulations.
Simulation is again a 3D thing represented on a 2D screen, where as AR is kind of actual 3D environment (and that too which can be rotated, etc)

Limitations:
One way approach (this topic being historical, not much can be left to the students to think and come up with new ideas).

Features:
Quantum Mechanical model has a lot of small small concepts which the students need to be aware of. AR can help with creating a real time representation of the atomic structures.

*While jotting down the points for this assignment, I thought of another project and I could not stop myself from posting it!) Sorry for cluttering up this padlet!

Broad Teaching Learning Goal:
Teach students some basic concepts of Geometry:
Two distinct lines intersect in a point
Two points can define a line
Three non co-linear points define one and only one plane
Two distinct planes intersect in a line
three distinct (and perpendicular) planes intersect in a point. (origin concept)

Target students:
Class IX and X students (Even class XI and XII Maths students are not completely comfortable with these concepts)

What the students need to do:
1. Read up concepts about Geometry, Definitions of point, line and plane are sufficient!

2. Try to imagine what will happen when X and Y intersect (X and Y can be taken as line, line; plane, line; plane, plane)
3. Try forming a mental image of the intersection will look like.
(There will be specific answers and corresponding markers will be kept)
4. Point the camera at the corresponding code.
5. See and play around with the 3D representation and compare it with your answer.
6. Try understanding the concept by rotating the AR representation

Benefits of Using AR:
The students can understand the concepts as they objects can be made to interect infront of them.
Can study at their own pace.
Can understand the 3D structure quite easily as compared to simulations.
Simulation is again a 3D thing represented on a 2D screen, where as AR is kind of actual 3D environment (and that too which can be rotated, etc)

Limitations:
Student will have to create their mental images and see if it matches with the answer. ( I think that may take time)
Teacher may still be required to teach along with AR (This tool is not self reliant, at least in this case)

Features:
We can ask the students to imagine different 3D objects and find out their images/representations from different planes, angles, perspectives:
A cylinder looks like a circle: Top view, looks like a rectangle: side view. These can be asked to the students and then the students can be asked to compare their thinking with the AR representation of the answer.

ET-801 Project Idea-I (Shiv)

2017-09-26 07:06:35 UTC

Project Idea-
Conceptual understanding of invisible or abstract concepts e.g. Recursion , parallel Programming.
1. Broad Teaching-Learning Goal
Recursion is one of the important concepts in programming but for the students it is difficult to understand the program logic flow and equally difficult for the faculty to explain it so that each and every students understands the basic recursion concept, why it is used, when it should be used , etc. The proposed technological solution will help faculty and students to explain and understand the concepts better respectively.
2. Activities
For a given program where recursion can be used, students will be able to change the Call statement, Parameter value , Return statement to see the effect and predict the correct output of the practice program.
3. Benefits
The technological solutions will help students to visualize the logical control flow of recursion concept to get deeper understanding. And Faculty will find it useful in explaining the concept.
4. Limitation
The solution can be used only for recursion concept.

ET-801 Project idea-II (Shiv)

2017-09-26 07:43:13 UTC

Project Idea-
Understanding of "invisible” or abstract processes or dynamics such as program execution.

1. Broad Teaching-Learning Goal-
The intension is to provide a visual representation of steps or dynamics taking place within the program while it is executing. The technological solution will help students to visually see the flow of program control during the program execution from one block of code to another , function calling , working of nested loops, etc.
2. Activities-
Students are expected to have theoretical understanding of the program execution. Initially students will be required to write small programs using various programming constructs and visualize the execution process. Visually shown program execution will also help them to understand the program logic flow better.
3. Benefits-
Better understanding of logical flow within the program.
Visualization of program execution process in 2D setup.
4. Limitation-
Real time execution of each & every program instruction in Milli/Nona seconds is beyond the scope. It would have been really useful to be able to achieve that in order to find the total time complexity of the program for optimization purpose.

Geology with AR - (Rumana Pathan

2017-09-26 10:48:08 UTC

1. Broad Teaching Learning
Enabling students to understand orientation of lines and planes using a 3D representation of Stereo nets.

2. What activities will the students do to achieve this goal?
1. Learn basics of Structural Geometry and use of stereonets (e.g. Compass directions, the representation of lines- (strike & dip) and planes-(trend & plunge) using an Augmented Reality application.
2. In order to do this, they need to point their camera on the image of the textbook, and tweak the resulting 3d structure in order to study the changes affecting it.
3. An immersive Virtual Reality experience in order to do the same (Future plan, also a part of my seminar idea)

3. Benefits of using AR for this goal
Instead of 2D depictions of 3D concepts we create a AR tool that will help the student to visualize the sphere and the planes within.
