In order to meet workplace demands in relation to Industry 4.0, the MiReBooks
project was established in 2019. The main focus of this paper is to present the
project’s outcomes in the field of Education 4.0 whereby, Mixed Reality (MR)
Mining Engineering educational material was developed for teachers, this in
order to integrate MR in classroom instruction with the aim to enhance student
understanding and application of knowledge to increase their competence in
the specific field of the subject. An account of a MR application in a mining
lecture is presented, together with student feedback, providing grounds to
ascertain that the integration of such technology can improve student learning
in the achievement of lesson/course Learning Outcomes.
