How can XR developers utilize ‘tech & innovation in XR’ to create better applications and products? C. What are some of the challenges associated with applying ‘tech & innovation in XR’?

Questioning: 1. What is XR? 2. What are the different types of XR technologies? 3. What are some of the current uses of ‘tech & innovation in XR’? 4. How are these innovations impacting the industry? 5. How can XR developers utilize ‘tech & innovation in XR’ in their work?

Assessment: To assess student understanding of the lesson, a multiple-choice quiz could be administered at the end of the session. Questions should cover the topics discussed during the lesson, such as XR technologies, the impact of ‘tech & innovation in XR’, and the implications for XR developers.

Differentiation: To ensure that all students have an opportunity to engage with the lesson, a variety of activities and materials should be provided to allow for flexibility in learning styles. For example, visual learners can be provided with video clips and simulated scenarios to illustrate key concepts; hands-on learners can be provided with worksheets and other activities that encourage collaboration and experimentation; and audio learners can be provided with podcasts and recorded materials.

Plenary: To conclude the lesson, the students could be asked to create a project that applies the concepts discussed during the lesson to a real-world problem. This could be presented in the form of a presentation or a written report, and should include an analysis of the potential implications of ‘tech & innovation in XR’ for XR development.
