XR & Immersive Learning

Module 1 - XR & Immersive Learning

XR is an umbrella term for all immersive technologies, including VR (virtual reality), AR (augmented reality), and MR (mixed reality). Metaverse is a specific application of XR technology. In this module, we examined this technology, its technological affordances, its instructional benefits, and the types of learning it enables, specifcally, immersive learning.

We prepared a video presentation to address the following topics on XR and Immersive Learning.

1. XR: what is it, its technological affordances, and instructional benefits
2. A show-and-tell of a specific XR program of your interest.
3. Immersive Learning: what is it, key considerations for design and evaluation of immersive learning.
