7 Things You Should Read About Augmented and Virtual Reality

Abstract

The tools and applications that support augmented reality and virtual reality (along with the more nascent world of mixed reality) have reached a level of development that allows widespread and increasingly mainstream use, including for teaching and learning. The resources below explore many of the technologies involved in AR and VR, discussing their ongoing development and the ways in which they are being used to add new dimensions to educational contexts.

The "7 Things You Should Read About..." series from the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative (ELI) provides a concise set of resources on emerging learning technologies meant to provide a quick understanding on the topic. You may find other ELI resources useful in addressing teaching, learning, and technology issues at your institution. To learn more, please visit the ELI publications page
