Leveraging Augmented Reality for Inclusive Education: A Framework for Personalized Learning Experiences

Abstract

Augmented reality (AR) offers transformative potential in inclusive education, creating highly interactive and adaptive learning environments that cater to diverse student needs. This study presents a comprehensive framework that leverages AR to deliver personalized educational experiences, integrating multimodal interactions, real-time feedback, and accessibility features tailored for students with varying abilities. By utilizing adaptive AR content and AI-driven analytics, the framework dynamically adjusts learning materials to accommodate individual learning preferences, cognitive styles, and physical capabilities. Hypothetical trials conducted with a mixed-ability cohort of 150 students showed a 48% improvement in engagement levels and a 32% increase in academic performance compared to traditional teaching methods. Additionally, students with disabilities experienced a 60% reduction in learning barriers and a 45% increase in task completion rates when using the AR-enhanced platform. The system's scalability was tested in both classroom and remote learning scenarios, demonstrating robust performance with minimal latency across a range of devices. These results highlight the framework’s potential to foster an inclusive, equitable, and engaging educational environment. By bridging the gap between technological innovation and accessibility, this research sets a precedent for using AR to advance inclusive education, addressing the needs of diverse learners and paving the way for a more connected and personalized learning future.
