Abstract

With the raise of COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the traditional teaching-learning process became inefficient. Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL) research has increasingly focused on emergent technologies such as Augmented Reality (AR). It became one of the technologies that have received great attention and interest in the last decade. In this paper, we conducted a systematic review that describes the current state of using AR as a learning tool. Taking into consideration the needs of all students including those with a disability, in different levels of education. It is done through the analysis of the following factors: AR in learning system, AR in levels of education and categories of educational AR applications. A total of 103 studies between 2011 and 2021 were analyzed through searching in four interdisciplinary databases: Springer, IEEE Xplore, ResearchGate, and Google Scholar. This analysis helped to see in which direction AR systems for education are heading and how it will be designed to fit the students’ needs and improve their learning. Further research and development will make AR a more promising learning tool.
