Abstract

Emerging technologies are lately being welcomed in Indian schools to enrich the quality of teaching and learning. Augmented Reality (AR) is one such technology that can be introduced in the classrooms. For a fruitful acceptance, it is required to design the AR interactions in schools as per the expectations of students, teachers and parents for a satisfactory user experience. In this paper, we present our study that was conducted with 47 participants belonging to three user groups of 6 parents, 7 teachers and 34 students. The broad goal was to understand the outlook of students toward technology as well as the expectations of the three user groups from an AR experience in Indian school education. Based on the mapping of the user stories, certain inferences were obtained which suggested the user requirements pertaining to AR experience in classrooms. We posit that these characteristic expectations of user experience can be used to develop AR applications for classrooms in future.
