Extended reality in learning and teaching 2023/2024 (report from Jisc/ULeeds)

As this is from May this year, probably already made the rounds, but posting anyway.

A report by Jisc and Centre for Immersive Technologies, University of Leeds on Extended Reality in learning.

Main points

  1. Investment in extended reality technologies within learning and teaching sectors is advancing.

  2. There is strong appetite for further implementation and use of XR to improve not only the experiences of learners, but also accessibility and future job readiness for individuals across multiple fields.

  3. There is significant belief in the technology’s potential to provide students with situated and experiential learning beyond, or in addition to, that available within the classroom

  4. Resourcing for the technology (whether it be financial or allocation of people and time) continues to be a barrier to greater implementation.

  5. There is a need for better understanding and more evidence of how XR can be used within education and its impact, especially in FE organisations.
