Abstract: Innovation and increased access to wearable technologies are poised to inspire a new generation of technology-enhanced learning environments. Wearables provide students and teachers with hands-free access to contextually-relevant knowledge, which can be displayed as a 3D virtual world or overlaid on smart glasses, accessed via a smart watch or wristband, or used for providing biofeedback through EEG monitoring. A wide range of wearable devices is available, and it is often difficult for educators to introduce these advanced techniques into higher education contexts. This paper presents three examples of the kinds of educational applications that have been delivered in Australia and indicate key considerations for educators aiming to develop their practice and embed wearable tools into the classroom.
