Quality, evaluation and continuous innovation in XR

Aim of the course:

This course concludes the MOOC by addressing quality assurance, evaluation and continuous improvement as essential conditions for the sustainable use of XR applications in vocational education and training.

It introduces key practices for evaluating XR-based learning, including usability testing, pedagogical effectiveness assessment, and considerations related to safety, ethics and data protection. The course also explores how feedback and evidence can be integrated into iterative improvement cycles for XR tools and learning activities.

Participants will develop a structured perspective on how XR applications can be continuously improved, ensuring long-term relevance, responsibility and educational value in VET contexts.

Main ideas:

1. Introducing usability testing frameworks, observation techniques and comfort metrics for XR learning tools. 
2. Exploring ways to evaluate pedagogical effectiveness, including learning outcomes and training performance in XR-supported activities. 
3. Addressing safety, ethics and data protection in immersive training, with attention to privacy and regulatory compliance. 
4. Understanding continuous innovation cycles in XR, including feedback integration, quality assurance and responsiveness to emerging trends.
