Resumen de Disruptive Technologies supporting Agricultural Education
This paper looks at a number of different technologies that are being used currently in agricultural education at The University of Queensland (UQ), Australia through the lens of ‘disruption’ as a positive force. The paper describes a number of tools and systems that have been developed, tested and implemented to engage students and provide an interesting, educative interactive experience at UQ. These tools include Internet of Things (IoT) multisensory mesh networks and associated data dashboard developments for biophysical monitoring, drone technology design and build for agricultural management, and augmented reality simulations as blended learning experiences. These tools have been used in teaching in 2017, 2018 and 2019 and have been evaluated positively for student engagement and the learning value to students of the tools.
