The Washington, DC-based XR Association announced recently it had formed its Education Working Group (EWG) tasked with developing immersive technologies and solutions for academic environments. The EWG will kick off on Thursday, 23 June and will unite professionals across the industry to develop best practices for educators using XR technologies in health and inclusive working. The event comes amid the organisation’s ongoing “Developers Guide: An Industry-Wide Collaboration for Better XR” series, which is set to publish later in the year.
The Washington, DC-based association will also work with the EWG amid its partnership with the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) to survey roughly 500 educators and staff about their thoughts on XR technologies in the classroom, the organisation explained in a statement. According to the organisation, all XRA member representatives can join the EWG, and the latter is currently seeking new voices to explore the XR education sector. The news comes just a month after ten tech firms joined XRA to expand the ongoing global ecosystem of immersive companies and their solutions.
