Mixed reality (MR) concepts gained significant importance in recent years, tending to be more and more domain-specific. The current paper presents a survey on MR educational applications and debates whether they are suitable or not to support several new learning paradigms. The technological specifications and challenges of each analyzed application are provided, in the context of current trends of MR and technological developments. Among others, the innovative criterion of virtual-real merging degree is introduced. Also, the benefits and drawbacks of exploiting MR to implement such paradigms are underlined.
