The team in University of Glasgow led by Prof Neil McDonnell recently published an interesting White Paper on the benefits and challenges that immersive technologies like virtual reality can bring to education. On this page you will find access to both the White paper itself which condenses the team’s work into key takeaways. The associated Report document lays out their research, thinking, and argument in detail and provides case studies, an illustrative example of how they see a future lesson which makes use of XR technology, and a glossary. Well worth a read for anyone intereted in exploring the topic more. This work was partly funded by a donation from Meta. The writing, conclusions and recommendations are entirely those of the SEER team in the University of Glasgow who remain editorially independent.
