Description
ABSTRACT
In today’s rapidly evolving educational landscape, teachers are increasingly expected to integrate technology into their teaching practices. However, many educators face significant challenges in adopting innovative tools and techniques that meet the demands of modern-day learners. This article explores the development of a teaching innovation using Mixed Reality (MR) through MAKAR software, complemented by additional tools such as Blender for 3D modeling, Canva for design elements, and Sketchfab for 3D asset sourcing. The focus of this development is to provide educators with accessible, customizable tools to enhance their teaching materials and engage students through immersive experiences. While many existing resources are available, educators often struggle with the complexity of using advanced software or the time required to develop these materials. The aim of this article is to guide new researchers and educators in understanding the process of creating mixed reality teaching aids, offering a hands-on approach to building engaging and interactive content without the need for extensive technical expertise. In this development phase, the combination of Blender’s 3D capabilities, Canva’s simplicity in design, and Sketchfab’s extensive library of assets allows for a streamlined process that can easily be adapted to various educational contexts. The article will walk through the step-by-step development of a sample teaching material, showcasing how educators can overcome the technological and creative barriers that often hinder innovation. By providing practical insights and highlighting the tools needed for mixed reality projects, this work serves as a springboard for educators who wish to create engaging, future-ready learning experiences. Data analysis on the effectiveness of these innovations will be conducted later, as the current focus is purely on the development stage.
