A new Jisc report finds extended reality (XR) is being increasingly used in teaching and learning, but lack of resourcing and challenges around accessibility and sustainability continue to be barriers. In a survey of more than 150 members from 110 institutions across the UK further and higher education (FE and HE) sectors, Jisc’s 2023/24 extended reality (XR) in learning and teaching report found that 78% of respondents had invested in XR at their institution, with 55% indicating their organisation was getting moderate to extensive use out of the technology. The full report is available for download.
