In the last few years, Virtual reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) have rapidly increased their popularity. AR/VR solutions can enhance classroom experiences and expand opportunities at all levels of learning. As a result, their use in educational environments has been a topic of interest in academic education. However, both virtual reality and augmented reality are not yet widely used in higher education.

This topical collection will introduce the technology of augmented reality (AR) and its possibilities for education and provide a model for the development of integrated learning objects based on the VR and AR approach where VR and AR objects could be integrated into other educational content as learning objects by creating integrated learning programs, learning scenarios. 

Make a new submission to the Topic: Virtual and Augmented Reality in Education section.
