Choose your class, craft your weapon, and explore a vast dystopian world on Oculus Quest, PSVR, and PC VR. Cyberpunk is all the rage at the moment. Perhaps it’s the dystopian futuristic settings or the heavy focus on cybernetics, virtual reality, and other bleeding-edge technologies. Whatever the case, upcoming projects such as Taika Waititi’s live-action Akira adaptation and CD Projekt RED’s Cyberpunk 2077 currently have audiences hungry for everything sci-fi.

XR technology is disruptive and it’s been a disruptive year. “Disruptive” isn’t the keyword for this article, but has definitely been a buzzword in 2020. Here, we’ll be exploring how all of this disruption has potentially led to lasting and positive change in education. The Road In. To start, it is important to point out that XR technology in education isn’t a new concept.

Can immersive tech help us tackle the pervasive and enduring problem of systemic racism? Technologies such as Virtual, Augmented, and Mixed reality – referred to as XR – have long been collectively touted as an “ Empathy Machine ,” and for very good reason. They enable us to easily change our perspective and experience what it’s like to “walk a mile in someone else’s shoes,” which makes them particularly well-suited for soft skills training.

To avoid awkward and sometimes disastrous learning content, instructional designers must use authentic translation in the right context to get optimal results. For example, even a simple phrase like “got milk” translates to “are you lactating” in Mexico. Can you imagine what a straight translation might do to your course? With over 317 million people in the US and over 6.7 billion potential customers in the world, personalizing training seems logical.

Since when has learning and development (L&D) become such a negative experience with its intended learners? Could it be because learners have been conditioned by very poor learning experiences over the past two decades, combined with the kinks of technological innovation? Or is it because learning has typically been designed as a one-size-fits-all solution, despite the fact that humans are not clones?
