A review of using Augmented Reality in Education from 2011 to 2016

In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in applying Augmented Reality (AR) to create unique educational settings. This paper reports a review of literature on augmented reality in educational settings considering the factors include the uses, advantages, features, and effectiveness of augmented reality in educational settings. In total, 55 studies published between 2011 and 2016 in Social Sciences Citation Index database were analyzed. The main findings from this review provide the current state of the art on research in AR in education. Furthermore, the paper discusses trends and the vision towards the future and opportunities for further research in augmented reality for educational settings.
