Barriers Towards the Implementation of Extended Reality (XR) Technologies to Support Education and Training in Workforce Development Programs
DescriptionAdvancements in computer technology have revolutionized extended reality (XR) experiences, including augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), mixed reality (MR), and 360° photography and videography. These technologies have found widespread adoption in various educational contexts, from K-12 schools to universities, where they are used for training and educational purposes. However, community and technical colleges in the United States have been slower to adopt these innovative instructional modalities (Duran, 2022), despite research demonstrating their potential to enhance student learning outcomes. Leveraging these benefits by technical colleges could lead to the development of a skilled workforce. This study aims to investigate the factors influencing the adoption of XR technologies at two-year institutions, guided by the consolidated framework for implementation research (CFIR) (Damschroder et al., 2009). By understanding these factors, educators can overcome challenges and develop evidence-based guidelines for effective XR-enabled instruction and training programs at two-year colleges.
