Augmented Reality
(AR)

Augmented reality (AR) since its introduction can
be credited for it potential in making the learning
process more active, effective and meaningful.
This is because its advanced technology enables
users to interact with virtual and real-time
applications and brings the natural experiences
to the user (Saidin et. Al, 2015). It also allows the
user to simulate what was taught.

Virtual Reality

Virtual reality (VR) is a technology
which allows a user to interact with a
computer-simulated environment,
whether that environment is a
simulation of the real world or an
imaginary world (Mandal, 2013). VR
give the user the ability to
experience, touch, feel the past,
present of the future. It gives one the
opportunity to create one’s own
world and customized reality.

Emerging Technologies

Emerging Technologies are

tools, innovations, and advancements
utilized in diverse educational settings
(including distance, face-to-face, and
hybrid forms of education)to serve
varied education-related purposes
(e.g., instructional, social, and
organizational goals) (Veletsianos,
2018).

Gamification

Gamification according to Groh (2012) is the use
of game design elements in non-game contexts.
Here, a game of learning is created by using
components from the themes and lesson
allowing for interacting of the entire class. The
goal of this is to increase student engagement
and participation.

Artificial
Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) is concerned with the
development of computers able to engage in human-like
thought processes such as learning, reasoning, and self-
correction (The New International Webster’s
Comprehensive Dictionary of the English Language,
Encyclopedic Edition). The concept of AI is that machines
can be invented or improved to assume some the
capabilities of human intelligence such as learning,
adapting, self correction etc. (Kok et al, n.d)
