Abstract

Conclusion. Face-to-face learning offers clear advantages over existing online platforms; however, augmented reality technology holds substantial potential to create impactful, engaging virtual learning experiences that can effectively rival traditional educational methods. The strategic implementation of augmented reality in virtual education can significantly enhance student engagement and academic achievement.
