The Future of eXtended Reality in Primary and Secondary Education.

eXtended Reality (XR) technology has to some degree been used in primary and secondary education. However, XR technology has not gained widespread use in public schools due to challenges related to pedagogical content, expertise, digital infrastructure, funding, and a lack of universal design. In this paper, we present the results from focus group interviews with representative stakeholders from the private and public sectors, in which we investigated their practical experiences and opinions about XR technology in Norwegian schools. We summarize the practical opportunities and challenges of using XR technology in primary and secondary education. We compare the results with a previously conducted selective and weighted literature review and extract four major future research needs to increase the practical and systemic universal design of XR technology in primary and secondary education for all.
