AR Textbooks

LiveABC course books come alive on a phone or tablet. Students scan the target images on a page, and the conversation videos and audio for that lesson pop up and play.

How it works

Students install the free app on a phone or tablet, open it and point the camera at the target images in their book. The matching conversation video or audio opens on screen straight away, so the page they are studying becomes a short scene they can watch and listen to as often as they like.

Free to download for iOS and Android
Works with the printed Student's Book
Conversation videos and audio for each lesson
Use it in class, at home or on the go

e-Lab in Class, the app for college textbooks

For LiveABC's college and professional English textbooks, the AR app is e-Lab in Class. It goes beyond scanning pages for video and audio, adding course modules, a wide range of audio-visual resources and speech recognition, and its AR features lead into follow-up learning tasks.

Part of a blended course

The AR App is one layer of LiveABC's blended-learning package. It works alongside the Student's Book and Workbook, the e-Lab online platform where students practise and teachers follow their progress, and the Teacher's Guide, audio files and preparation slides, so what students watch on their phones leads straight back to the lesson in the book.
