Courseware’s English 9A and 9B courses now include a suite of AR activities through the Boulevard x ED app, available on iOS and Android
Edmentum, a global education leader and pioneer in online teaching and learning solutions has partnered with Boulevard Arts, a premier developer of immersive augmented reality (AR) programs for education. Beginning this fall semester, the AR activities for Courseware’s English 9 courses can be accessed through the Boulevard x ED mobile app, available on Apple’s App Store or the Google Play Store for Android.
These new AR activities allow English 9 students to place virtual works of art in their classroom, living room, computer lab, or even outside and interact with them up close through their mobile device. Carefully curated for deep integration with Courseware’s standards-aligned English 9A and 9B courses, these objects and the activities developed around them prompt students to explore and deepen their understanding of literary elements such as theme, plot, and setting. These activities also support media literacy, personal connection, and creative expression.
Boulevard x ED’s AR activities for Edmentum’s English 9 courses demonstrate how looking closely at an Edward Hopper painting, a Japanese print, a medieval tapestry, or a Maya carving can not only meaningfully engage students but also help them access key English language arts concepts in a contextual way.
