Research is increasingly being conducted to identify the benefits provided by the latest developments in the AR/VR domain, which has seen an increase in interest as a result of the stay-at-home phenomena in 2020. Of particular interest is the application of AR/VR to education, a discipline that has seen a rapid shift to online modules in 2020. To better understand the advancements in AR/VR enabled education, we conducted a systematic literature review consisting of N=61 papers published in the year 2020 that focused on AR/VR in the education sector. We particularly focused on papers where studies have evaluated user perceptions in different countries, academic fields, and at varied educational levels. We found that while most papers conducted user studies and evaluated the technical applications of AR/VR, user perceptions, impact, and awareness were not explored in detail. Our findings highlight trends that can drive critically needed innovations through AR/VR especially to help a globalized digital evolution in the education sector.
