Abstract

Transhumanism has created drastic changes in many different sectors, especially in education as it is directly related to how we grow and shape our lives. Transhumanist technologies, especially augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and artificial intelligence (AI), play an important role in education and provide new opportunities by facilitating the communication between students and teachers and students and other students in order to obtain fruitful learning outcomes. In this chapter, transhumanist technologies used in teaching and learning will be discussed with a critical analysis, and how these technologies can change the way people learn will be explained through the lens of transhumanism.
