Abstract

The continued development of mobile technologies has provided individuals the opportunity to work, learn, and play across a variety of contexts. The growth of these mobile devices has afforded an equivalent rise in popularity in augmented reality (AR) technologies. Though it has seen widespread adoption across a number of industries, AR has yet to see consistent integration in the realm of education. Several individuals and organizations have cited AR as being poised for mainstream educational adoption despite continued setbacks. The purpose of this chapter is to examine the claims surrounding AR for teaching and learning to understand what is being done and what is possible with the technology right now. This chapter provides a review of a variety of academic and non-academic sources towards the construction of a framework for AR for teaching and learning. Recommendations for research and practice are discussed.
