Description

The XR2Learn MOOC equips educators with the knowledge and practical skills to effectively integrate Extended Reality (XR) technologies, including Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR), into educational settings. This course offers a comprehensive exploration of XR’s potential to enhance teaching and learning, grounded in instructional design principles like the ASSURE model and the TPACK framework. Through engaging modules, real-world case studies, and a hands-on final project, participants will learn to analyze learner needs, select appropriate XR technologies, and design immersive learning experiences that align with curriculum goals. Whether new to XR or looking to deepen their expertise, educators will leave the course prepared to harness the transformative power of XR for meaningful educational impact.
