Augmented Reality in Anatomy 12
Meet the Team
Katie Cowen
Katie is a part-time primary PE teacher and is currently enrolled in her second semester of the Masters of Educational Technology program at the University of British Columbia. In her experiences both as a teacher and as a student in the MET program, she has seen first hand how integral augmented reality is in education, allowing learners to bring the intangible into perspective. As an educator, she is excited to have this opportunity to present her findings on mobile augmented realities in science and health, and hopes that some find our resource useful in their own practice.

Chris received his Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of Victoria and continued with a Bachelor of Education from Western University. He is currently an English Language Learners (ELL) Middle School teacher working on expanding his educational technologies knowledge to better assist his students in their lifelong learning. He is nearing the end of his time in the UBC MET program and looking forward to the next chapter of his life.
