Augmented reality environments for shared knowledge-building

In the last few years several studies have focussed their attention on the use of augmented reality in the educational contexts. The efficacy of the training paths realised by means of augmented reality represents one of the most interesting themes in the current debate, especially as regards the design, implementation and evaluation of an augmented didactics to be led back to within an adequate theoretical and methodological framework. In particular, the applications of augmented reality are analysed with reference to the new methods of learning, hinging upon a shared construction of learning. With reference to school didactics, the present contribution seeks to propose a reflection on educational experiences realised in augmented reality environments, highlighting their positives as well as their critical aspects.
