4. Project Benefits
It is an opportunity for students to participate in a virtual world to help
enhance learning abilities. This new innovative learning style creates a
physical engagement amongst students and their environment. Instead of
sitting in a classroom partaking in lectures, online students now can use
augmented reality to engage in practical learning by connecting their
knowledge with the real world. For Example, students in these online courses
will integrate theory into practice by providing a safe environment that poses
no risk to patients. Also, they will be able to conduct hands-on experiments
and explore various aspects of science.

Students Benefits:
 Creates virtual worlds and allows students to create new interests
 AR will provide a hands-on learning experience that will keep
students engaged.
