Ready Teacher One: Virtual and Augmented Reality Online Professional Development for K-12 School Teachers

“…Cornerstones of digital teacher competencies-beyond teaching, learning, and assessment-include pedagogical knowledge, communications skills, and professional engagement in teacher communities of practice [7]. In the European Framework for the Digital Competence of Educators, professional engagement of teachers includes critical self-reflection and participation in continuous professional development [8]. Data from the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) associate teachers professional development opportunities along with factors such as initial motivation, school climate, teacher collaboration, and availability of resources with teacher satisfaction and success [9].…”

“…The next two modules "Digital storytelling with AR" and "Inquiry-based learning with VR" enabled participants to experience and interact practically with AR and VR through virtual field trips. In this way, participants were equipped for the design and implementation of a practical, collaborative research-based scenario with AR or VR, the epicenter of the program's final module [8]. In the intermediate modules 2 (AR) and 3 (VR) a flipped learning approach was followed, where self-study and individual, flexible work proceeded an online workshop.…”
