SITUATIONAL XR: ARE THERE MORE THAN ABSOLUTES?

Abstract

The need for digital transformation is in high demand, and Extended Reality (XR) is increasing in popularity within education, business, healthcare, and entertainment. More clarification is needed on how XR can be used for meaningful experiences. In this typological article, we explain the various classifications inherent within XR environments and provide situational theory as a supportive framework for further exploration of XR. We describe definitive learning strategies and technological possibilities in light of these developments. Various strategies can be implemented to assist educators on how to use the technology under the situated learning paradigm. Situativity is relevant to life-changing digital experiences, but many question how to implement it in light of XR trends. Given the challenging climate that organizations face today, situated learning has been an essential perspective for future experiences with XR.
