In the case of other Higher Education and other educational sectors which caters to practical and situation cases either scientific or technical approaches in facing the real-time situation. The Researcher is proposing a new alternative flexible learning that will ease up the situations of the current pandemic in all education levels, which is the integration of Virtual Reality, of AR learning content as part of the educational authoring tools, a web-based platform for the development of Augmented content, the distribution of which is accomplished through standardized Learning Management Systems (LMS) using SCORM packages library,. Furthermore, a collaborative framework solves the problem of standard integration of Augmented and Virtual Reality applications in education offering a distributed framework which is the Learning Management System platform, (Barbadillo, Barnera, Goñi, & Sánchez, 2014). Upon the implementation of this interactive and immersive technology platforms, higher-order thinking or critical thinking skills will develop further.
