Traditional instructional methods are becoming increasingly obsolete as the recent Industrial Revolution advances. The abstract nature of several subjects and the linear lecture-based approach have posed challenges for students. The purpose of this study is to compare the learning outcomes and learning styles of two groups of students: the control group and the experimental group. As determined by the T-test analysis of the class learning outcomes, hybrid pedagogy produced superior results. In addition, the VARK analysis revealed that students from both groups utilize the four learning styles of visual, auditory, reading/writing, and kinesthetic to an almost equal extent. The use of multiple learning styles leads to improved outcomes and has a positive effect on the learning outcomes of students. In addition, this is accomplished by combining an Augmented Reality based e-learning application with conventional learning techniques teaching the topic renewable energy sources.
