Which problem is solved?
Digital technologies are changing almost every aspect of our daily lives. Trainers and vocational school teachers in particular need digital skills to keep up with technological, educational and social developments in the world of work. The application of new technologies in vocational training requires new teaching and learning concepts. A new technology with great potential is Augmented Reality (AR).
This new teaching and learning method requires appropriate concepts and content in order to provide (company) trainers with the necessary skills for their use in theory and practice classes. So far, however, there has been no structured qualification offer for trainers. AR4VET closes this gap and thus makes a contribution to vocational training 4.0.
How is the problem solved?
- Provision of didactic guidelines for the didactically induced use of AR in theory and practice lessons
- Development of a structured blended learning qualification offer for (company) trainers with the aim of integrating AR into existing teaching and learning concepts
- Best practice manual for the use of AR in vocational training in 4 focus industries

Project summary
Firefighters are the role-model of modern heroes: a brave life safer in emergency situations. This positive image is tested each day and sometimes to the limit. Firefighters are all-rounders, rescuers, of persons and goods, and team-players. A wrong or slow response can set human lives at risk. To respond and react to emergencies accordingly, in a timely and a professional manner, firefighters need to be up to date. This helps them to catch up with the increased methodological, strategic and technical demands of modern firefighting.
The use of modern media with implementation of AR or VR visualisations will foster digital skills among teaching personnel and learners and aim to transform existing teaching and learning forms. This results in a higher motivation among learners and the transition of the trainer’s role from an instructor to a moderator. AN EXPERIMENTAL INCLUSION OF PARTICIPANTS with special needs in this context will be targeted
by supporting dyslectic participants with mixed reality experiences as a compensatory measure where visual input can serve as a partial substitute to textual presentations. THE NEED TO USE OF AR, VR, 360° VIDEO AND 3D (BIO-) PRINTING is reflected by the results of an upfront online survey. 91% of teachers/trainers have a high interest on the technology use and the qualification in the didactic innovation training hubs.
