There are sufficiently studied advantages of Augmented Reality (AR) in education. However, the studies regarding the impact of AR in educational inclusion are still scarce; particularly, no methodologies that help educational institutions, particularly teachers, in the addressing diversityattention to diversity in the classroom using AR are reported. This study describes and evaluates CooperARCooperAR, a methodology for co-creating augmented and inclusive educational scenarios, considering three conceptual principles: cooperative learning (CL), universal design for learning (UDL) and co-creation between students and teachers. CooperARCooperAR was evaluated under three dimensions, inclusion, cooperation and quality. A quasi-experimental design with a descriptive scope carried out in an educational institution in the South of Colombia, with 63 students preorganized into two groups. Results demonstrated that CcooperARCooperAR favors the co-creation of augmented and inclusive educational scenarios among heterogeneous groups, provoking the participation of all students, and evidencing that cooperation is a catalyst for inclusive learning. The evaluation confirms that CooperARCooperAR is an effective and innovative methodology that enhances educational inclusion through Augmented Reality. Promoting its adoption in educational settings could help institutions better address the needs of all students, particularly those at risk of exclusion.Moreover, students can win prizes and points as follows:
