Accurate Al-Qur’an tajwid (tahsin) requires repeated practice and direct guidance on makharijul huruf and basic tajwid. During post-pandemic blended learning, State Islamic Higher Education Institutions (Perguruan Tinggi Keagamaan Islam Negeri, PTKIN) students in Riau and Riau Islands often rely on asynchronous materials that provide limited articulation visualization and feedback. This study reported on the development of Tahsin Digital AR, an Android application that combined marker-based augmented reality with audio-visual demonstrations to support letter articulation practice. The study followed an educational research and development design (Borg and Gall) that included needs analysis, prototype development, expert review, and field evaluation. Media validity was assessed by three technology experts and three subject matter experts using a structured questionnaire; user acceptance was measured through a survey of 300 students from three PTKIN. Technology and content validation reached 84.55% and 93.89%, respectively, resulting in an overall feasibility score of 89.22% (highly valid). The survey results indicated a strong need for the application, with 96.0% agreed/strongly agreed that this application needed to be developed, and 92.7% agreed/strongly agreed that this application was practical to use. Most respondents (77.3%) also agreed/strongly agreed that this application was more interesting and effective for learning to read the Qur’an. These findings indicate that the proposed AR media is feasible and well-received as a tahsin support in the PTKIN context. Future work should include experiments on learning outcomes and automatic pronunciation assessment.
