The NWXR EDU Network Mini-Grant program supported faculty, staff, and librarians in developing XR-based learning experiences for their courses and institutions. Through this initiative, participants explored the use of extended reality (XR) in teaching and learning, resulting in a collection of innovative projects across disciplines.
These projects are part of a growing library of resources developed through the NWXR EDU Network and are available as open educational resources (OER). We hope this work inspires new ideas and highlights the many ways XR can be used in education. Explore the full collection on our OER page, or view a selection of highlighted projects below.
