It is a term coined by Derrick de Kerckhove (1997) AU98: The citation "de Kerckhove (1997)" matches the reference "De Kerckhove, 1997", but the capitalization is different. and it can be considered as a variable of “Collective Intelligence” ( Levy, 1997 AU99: The citation "Levy, 1997" matches the reference "Lévy, 1997", but an accent or apostrophe is different. ). In very general terms it is a despatialized and distributed intelligence that results from interactions between interconnected users.

Abstract
Ubiquitous devices and wearable technologies are becoming smaller and more rich in features to meet user demands and applications. The emergence of ever more sophisticated technologies has created new relationships between real, virtual, and augmented world. This is quite evident, within educational contexts. This chapter will explore new learning approaches based on virtual and augmented reality technologies. Virtual and augmented realities dispense specific knowledge and information. This chapter will discuss augmented reality and education applications based on virtual reality. The chapter will differentiate between ways in which wearable technologies enhance and restructure teaching and learning processes. To circumscribe a well-defined level of analysis, the chapter will examine experiences of using wearable technology within educational contexts.
