This paper explores how Augmented Reality using mobile phones can enhance teaching and learning in education. It specifically examines its application in two cases, where it is identified that the agility of mobile devices and the ability to overlay context specific resources offers opportunities to enhance learning that would not otherwise exist. The technologies that will be used to develop these resources are considered, along with logistical issues surrounding affordability, security and safety issues of mobile devices. (Contains 3 figures.) [For the complete proceedings, "EdMedia 2012: World Conference on Educational Multimedia, Hypermedia and Telecommunications.
