Abstract
The widespread ownership of mobile devices has lead to an increased interest to ubiquitous learning that is supported by a wide range of mobile devices. Mobile learning (m-learning) is referred to as when the process of learning and teaching occurs with the use of mobile devices anywhere and anytime. These developments have led to new research challenges in integrating formal and informal learning opportunities in technological supported environments. Therefore, this chapter is intended to provide an overview on how complex learning may be facilitated by mobile augmented reality learning environments and discuss technological, theoretical, and assessment challenges that must be addressed by future research for mobile augmented reality learning environments to fulfill its potential.
