This study aims to bridge the gap by addressing the challenge which consists of internet connection excess and coverage, technology and computer skills, environment, motivation, time management, engagement with groupmates and educators, and the feedback on using artificial intelligence via Online Distance Learning. This study employed a mix-method approach to address the gap. As for quantitative part, 110 undergraduates who showed that they are knowledgeable in computer skills while qualitative design, five undergraduates and two instructors were selected randomly. The results indicated that the respondents are confident communicating electronically. They also expressed that they found it convenient to have group discussions outside the classroom to complete their group work. This reveals that the undergraduates are optimistic using arepreneurnomics platform which includes augmented reality. It is noteworthy that some of the respondents’ experience poor internet connection, like unstable coverage and poor signal. Structured interview responses revealed that undergraduates found arepreneurnomics using augmented reality applications to be interesting, improves academic performance and challenging which encourage them to learn more about augmented reality. The educators shared that they need more training in AR not only using arepreneurnomics but also for other subjects as undergraduates are interested such applications. It can be concluded that the use of augmented reality can optimize conducive learning experiences for undergraduates with a pleasant learning experience while enhancing the engagement between educators and students. Both educators and undergraduates need more hands-on training in using augmented reality in classrooms to experience more benefits.
