Chances and Challenges of Using Assistive Systems in Education

Abstract

Knowledge transfer in educational establishments has experienced a shift from printed media to digitized assistance. Creating adaptive content for educating individuals efficiently has become a major challenge within the design and development of computer-supported learning systems in schools, universities, and vocational schools. Assistance through augmented reality enables the storage of vast amounts of learning materials and annotation of content. Augmenting educational content adaptively provides a personalized experience, thus fostering the motivation of the individual. We present four dimensions to consider when transferring knowledge through personalized educational assistance using augmented reality. This is complemented by the presentation of four research questions based on the previously identified dimensions and related research. We aim to foster context-aware assistive systems that enhance the learning experience.
