Learning is
Social and connected
Personal and self-directed
Shared and transparent
Rich in content
Fun.
E-Learning is a type of formalized teaching and learning system specifically designed to be carried out remotely by using electronic communication.
Relevant, reliable educational content
Engaging user experience
Explicit learner support
Rich in content
Easy access
Mobile Learning is popular because:
Personal mass media
Enables Augmented Reality.
Always carried
Always on
Captures context
Augmented Reality
A real-time direct or indirect view of a physical real-world environment that has been enhanced/augmented by adding
virtual computer generated information to it.

Augmented Reality for E-Learning
What makes AR a potential medium for E-Learning? (Affordances of AR)
Encourages kinesthetic learning
Visualizes complex spatial content
Real world annotation
Vision haptic visualization
Example applications from available literature

Benefits of AR for E-Learning
• Better Understanding of content • Long term memory retention • Better collaboration • Increased motivation
Detriments of AR for E-Learning
• Attention tunnelling • Usability difficulties • Ineffective classroom integration • Learner differences
Future Work • Investigate how AR designers can maximize the
potential learning benefits.
• Generate guidelines for designing effective
educational AR experiences.
• Improve integration into classroom pedagogy.
• Identify curriculum topics and types of content that
are currently difficult to teach using other media and
are worth the investment cost for AR.
• Think about AR for specially-abled learners.
Conclusion • Identified benefits and detriments of AR for E-Learning
and proposed future research.
• Augmented Reality shows promising potential for
integration into E-Learning systems and forming a
staple ingredient of them.
Education = Future
