ARTEfac est une application pédagogique proposant la mise à disposition et la consultation de modules de formation multimédia, notamment en réalité augmentée. Développée par une équipe projet de l’Inspé (Institut National Supérieur du Professorat et de l’Education), composée d’enseignants chercheurs et d’ingénieurs d’études rattachés à l’Unité de Recherche ADEF (Apprentissage, Didactique, Evaluation, Formation), cette application vise à améliorer la maîtrise des savoirs disciplinaires et pédagogiques des étudiants en sciences et technologies. L’usage de la réalité augmentée comme ressource pédagogique multimédia permet la superposition du réel et du virtuel au sein d’un même écran. Elle permet également l’interactivité des utilisateurs avec des objets virtuels qu’ils peuvent étudier et manipuler aussi longtemps qu’ils le souhaitent. La réalité augmentée devient alors un média de formation « classique » au même titre que le texte, l’audio ou la vidéo, déjà largement plébiscités en pédagogie, et peut être intégrée en tant que tel dans toute progression pédagogique. La création de l’application ARTEfac, financée par la fondation A*MIDEX initiative d’excellence d’Aix-Marseille Université, participe aux projets de transformation des pédagogies, en articulation étroite entre les acteurs de terrain et la recherche en innovation pédagogique. Elle s'inscrit également dans une démarche de Mobile Learning (ou apprentissage en mobilité) proposé désormais aux étudiants.
