Publications, articles, podcasts...
Explore research and insights from the DUTAR project, where we are investigating and implementing the use of Extended Reality (XR) in the education sector. Our publications cover a range of topics, including:
- Educational practices and XR: Discover how XR technologies can enhance learning experiences and engage students in new and innovative ways.
- Technologies and implementation: Learn about the latest technological advances and how they can be integrated into the classroom to support interactive and immersive learning.
- Case studies and practical examples: Gain insight into real-life applications of XR in education.
- The future of education: Explore visions and projections of how XR will shape the future education landscape.
Our goal is to share knowledge and promote a deeper understanding of how XR can be used in education. We hope that these publications inspire and support teachers, researchers and technologists in their quest to create engaging and effective learning environments.
