Benefits 

• Enhanced Learning Experience: XR can provide a highly immersive and interactive learning experience for students, which can help them to better understand complex concepts and retain information. This leads to increased student participation and motivation to learn. When students are engaged and motivated, they are more likely to succeed. The use of extended reality can help students better understand complex concepts and improve their problem-solving skills.

• Greater accessibility:  XR can be used to create accessible learning experiences for students with disabilities. For example, virtual simulations can be used to provide hands-on learning experiences that may be difficult to replicate in a physical classroom.

• Real-world application: XR can provide students with the opportunity to apply what they have learned in a real-world context. This can help students better understand the relevance of their coursework and prepare them for future careers.

• Personalized Learning: XR can be used to create personalized learning experiences for individual students, based on their unique learning styles and needs. For example, students who struggle with visualizing concepts can use VR to create 3D models to help them better understand the material.
• Collaboration and Social Learning: XR can facilitate collaboration and social learning, even in remote or online learning environments. Students can use VR or MR to work together on projects and simulations, and to interact with peers and instructors in a more immersive and engaging way.
