Simulation is a key method for practicing skills and procedures in both education and professional settings. Through extended reality (XR), which includes VR and AR technologies, we gain access to realistic experiences and scenarios that are otherwise difficult to recreate in traditional learning environments.

This course provides participants with the opportunity to explore and experiment with various types of XR-based simulations in pedagogical contexts. We examine how such simulations can be used to practice professional conversations and dialogues, communicate subject knowledge, and manage challenging situations. The course places particular emphasis on learning design that integrates simulation into teaching and professional development.

Through hands-on activities and modeling, participants will develop skills in using XR simulations as tools for creative learning activities, storytelling, and profession-oriented training.
