A system, method, and electronic device for providing concomitant augmentation via learning interstitials for publications includes activating a scan mode, where the scan mode causes a camera to capture image data; determining the presence of a publication captured in the image data; and analyzing the image data to determine the presence of an augmented reality (AR) identifier. In response to identifying the presence of the AR identifier within the publication captured in the image data, the image data and an AR link that corresponds to the AR identifier is displayed as an AR overlay to the image data of the publication. In response to failing to identify the AR identifier within the publication, a user is prompted to input a page number of the publication; and the AR link that corresponds to the page number of the publication input by the user is displayed in a list view.
