Abstract

This preliminary study is intended to obtain the background of basic ICT skill required for teachers to develop the Augmented Reality (AR) application using available AR authoring tool. The AR technology enables the virtual world to be in real world concurrently. These features have been identified to be able to accommodate the learning experience in order to promote learning. The samples are comprised of nine AR application developers and forty four teachers. Interview schedule, questionnaire and demonstration are used to collect data. The findings revealed that teachers have low technical skills in order to develop the AR application using available authoring tool according to the requirement listed by the AR application developer. This indicates that there is a need to develop the AR authoring tool which is easy to use in the perspective of teachers. It shows that it is difficult for them to develop their own AR application because of the technical skill required, although they are very interested in the technology and agreed that the technology can help to enhance the students’ cognitive process.
