This Level 3 Adopting lesson positions you at the intersection of immersive technologies and employability. You’ll explore extended reality (AR, VR, MR) and immersive learning principles, and how to design lesson plans that use XR to bridge classroom and workplace skills. You’ll unpack the emerging metaverse and its underpinning technologies, and consider how to design metaverse based learning experiences.
You’ll then examine generative AI: what it is, how it can support learning and teaching, and how to develop students’ critical, ethical and employability focused use of AI. Finally, you’ll address legal and ethical concerns around the metaverse and AI, and draft practical guidelines for responsible use.
Directly supports the development of work ready graduates by integrating XR simulations, metaverse scenarios and AI enabled tasks that mirror real workplace conditions. It also strengthens your ability to address emerging regulatory, safety and ethical expectations around technology use in training and assessment.
Who Should Take This Course
This course is ideal for: - VET and school educators wanting to integrate AR/VR/MR into authentic, career linked learning
- Teachers and trainers exploring metaverse style environments for projects, simulations or virtual labs
- Educators looking to guide students’ use of generative AI for learning, creativity and employability
- Leaders developing local policies or guidelines on XR, metaverse platforms and AI in education
By the end of this
lesson, you will be able to:
- Distinguish between augmented, virtual and mixed reality, and explain how XR can support immersive, skills focused learning.
- Design XR based lesson activities (roles, objectives, safety and follow up tasks) that build both technical and transferable skills.
- Describe the metaverse, its enabling technologies and its potential applications for teaching, learning and career preparation.
- Plan metaverse style learning experiences that consider pre experience preparation, in world activities and post experience consolidation.
- Explain what generative AI is, outline its main tool types and limitations, and identify productive education use cases.
- Design learning activities where students use generative AI for idea generation, drafting and analysis, while practising critical evaluation and ethical use.
- Identify key future of work skills and connect them to AI and XR enabled learning experiences, including discussion of privacy, ownership and ethical guidelines.
Note: Access is granted for 3 months from the date of enrolment.
