Abstract

When a course's content is given using a proper approach and aided by the integration of technology, learning enhancement can be attained. Although this integration is based on the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) approach, educators may be reluctant to include technology into their lesson plans if they have not received training that stresses using technology in the present. As a result, educators in higher education require a training program based on the experiential learning paradigm for integrating cutting-edge technology in the classroom, such as cloud-based applications and augmented reality. As a result, the current study builds an educational technology and augmented reality learning module for instructors in higher education institutions in accordance with Kolb's experiential learning theory. In a case study that was carried out in a classroom, 15 teachers took part in the learning activity using a formative assessment approach and cloud-based technologies, including educational technology (EdPuzzle, Nearpod, Socrative, Formative, Kahoot, and Quizziz) as well as augmented reality (HP Reveal). The case study's findings showed that the module was well received in terms of engagement, interaction, competency, and curiosity. The educators who participated in the module also gained knowledge and skills. As a result, using cloud-based tools for cuttingedge educational technology in learning modules based on experiential learning theory boosts educators' readiness and perception of incorporating technology into their lesson plans. In order to boost interest in and foster good attitudes toward learning in learners as well as educators, it is important to promote active learning in higher education.
