The term "Augmented Learning" is evolving as we speak. We could define Augmented Learning as a learning modality that is delivered using some form of Augmented Reality technology. AR technologies create a semi-transparent supplemental content layer currently using either a mobile device or via AR eyewear but were initially developed to be displayed on desktops and laptops screens using a web camera. There is also an aspect of inteactivity either by tracking eye movements, hand and facial gestures as its primary input device for interacting with the content. Although one might use a traditional computer to display augmented learning content, the purpose of AR and AL is to untether the learner from their seditary computer based environment from having to use such devices as a monitor, keyboard and a mouse or pointer device. |

Neutrality
The "Is augmentation really "learning"?" section seems to be skewed towards trying to disprove critical arguments rather then to state them.
- "Critics may see learning augmentation as a crutch that precludes memorization; similar arguments have been made about using calculators in the past. Just as rote learning is also not a substitute for understanding, augmented learning is simply another faculty for helping learners recall, present and process information."
