Abstract
The ongoing digital revolution in education and learning is the focus of many research studies due to the significant potential of technology-mediated learning. However, the integration of holoportation as an immersive technology in educational contexts is still somewhat unexplored. In this semi-systematic literature review, we seek to assess the emerging literature on teachers’ and learners’ experiences using Microsoft HoloLens as a teaching and learning medium. The objective is to identify the benefits, challenges, and future development needs related to the use of the HoloLens in education. We limited our review to empirical studies published in international peer-reviewed journals during the last five years. The review was not limited by discipline, educational context, or theoretical perspectives. The findings of this meta-analysis highlight the lack of research on the use of mixed reality (MR) in education. Possible directions for future development of pedagogical approaches that take advantage of innovative immersive learning environments and research in this area are also outlined; these suggestions can benefit researchers and industrial developers.
