This paper presents the CARE framework that integrates cloud computing and augmented reality (AR) models. Remote learning through immersion has dramatically impacted the learning environment. Cloud computing facilitates the efficient delivery platform required to transform the learning environment. Furthermore, AR facilitates immersive learning by integrating digital information into the real world. However, challenges related to network latency, security issues, device supportability, and teacher readiness limit the effective implementation of this strategy. The CARE framework meets the teaching community’s requirements by implementing edge computing concepts to address network performance latency. Moreover, the framework enhances security by applying end-to-end encryption. This paper lays out proper definitions of the relevant topics and a platform for exploring the ultimate capabilities of immersive distance learning enabled by cloud computing and AR.
