Educational Applications, Interactivity, Higher Education, Augmented Reality, Educational TechnologyAbstract
Augmented reality is a technology that combines elements of the real and virtual world to enhance the user experience by providing additional information and enriching interaction. In education, AR has been used to enhance the teaching of complex concepts by providing interactive content and immersive experiences. This review examines various aspects related to the implementation of AR in higher education, including its educational benefits, impact on student motivation and engagement, and its effectiveness in achieving learning objectives. Associated challenges and limitations, such as device availability and effective experience design, are also explored. The results indicate that AR can improve content comprehension and retention, encourage active student participation, and enhance collaborative learning. However, significant challenges are identified, such as the initial investment in technology and the need for adequate teacher training. In addition, diversity in institutional infrastructure and resources may limit the widespread adoption of AR in higher education. In conclusion, augmented reality in higher education offers promising potential to enhance teaching and learning, but its successful implementation requires careful considerations of pedagogy, accessibility, and overcoming technological barriers. It highlights the need for further research to thoroughly understand its impact and maximize its benefits in academic training
