INSPIRE will host a new research project, "ARstudio: Creating Opportunities for Multimodal Layered Learning through Augmented Reality" that has won an Australian Learning and Teaching Council Innovation & Development grant ($224000). The project will be lead by the University of Canberra with partners from Australian National University and Macquarie University. The project explores the application of Augmented Reality to expand our concept of learning spaces, to create new dimensions in mobile learning and to increase connectedness of learners in multiple contexts.

The project required groups of students to study and explore a number of locations in their host cities. Students were broken up into small groups and asked to research specific locations in the cities they were staying. The assignment was entirely location based with students creating an augmented reality layer with these points of interest, uploading geo-tagged photos to a Google map and embedding this map into their blog. All these elements integrated along with their travel journals on the course blog.
