Augmented Reality in Education Research
Augmented Reality in Education 2022: Educator and Parent Perspectives
Augmented reality (AR) offers new and exciting ways for learners to interact and engage with subject material. That’s why we wanted to understand how educators are using this technology in the classroom, how students are using it at home, and find answers to questions like “What are the top benefits of AR?” and “What are the top concerns?”
To find those answers, we worked with Hanover Research to survey teachers, administrators, and parents. Here’s what we learned.
