The dataset comprises qualitative data, namely videos and photographs of lesson observations, interview audio files and transcripts, screenshots of augmented reality apps, video logs and other classroom artefacts in three classrooms of a school in Sydney.

This project aims to first investigate primary language and literacy teachers’ knowledge and concerns in teaching literacies associated with communication modes, followed by building their knowledge of the educational benefits of augmented reality (AR) and ways of harnessing it to integrate language and literacy. Drawing on data from an online survey, observations, individual teacher interviews and samples of work from teachers and students, the project aims to foster students’ inventiveness in appropriating educational benefits of emergent technologies by involving primary school teachers and students in creating texts using AR. The project findings will guide primary school teachers to evaluate the educational benefits of AR, provide principles and lesson ideas to support educational uses of AR, and recommend units of work for all stages to draw on critical and creative pedagogies to meet the Australian Curriculum: English (ACARA, 2015) outcomes.
