Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology tasked with examining the future of online education have returned with a simple recommendation for colleges and universities: focus on people and process, not technology.- Love Letter to Blended Learning, Inside HigherEd April 20, 2016 - https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2016/04/20/mit-online-learning-report-notes-importance-teachers-instructional-designers

“Technology will not replace the unique contributions teachers make to education through their perception, judgment, creativity, expertise, situational awareness and personality,” the report reads. “But it can increase the scale at which they can operate effectively.” – OEPI Report https://oepi.mit.edu/final-report

Augmented Reality (AR) aims to blend reality with the virtual environment, allowing users to interact with both physical and digital objects.

Virtual Reality (VR) enables users to step into an immersive, computer-simulated alternate world where sensory experiences can occur. Head-mounted devices such as Oculus Rift can deliver both AR and VR experiences.

AR can also be used in conjunction with GPS-enabled smartphones or tablets, while VR can take form in a dedicated simulation room.-Horizon Report 2016 Higher Ed: http://www.nmc.org/publication/nmc-horizon-report-2016-higher-education-edition/

Augmented reality (AR) superimposes an image, video or some other digital overlay onto our view of the real world in real time.
