Abstract
Extended reality is proposed as a means to deliver qualitative material to students in higher education institutions. The usage of this technology has increased due to Covid-19 lock down. This paper aims to categorize the challenges encountered by literature that deployed extended reality (XR) in higher education during and after the lockdown. However, the number of available articles addressing these challenges is limited, with a total number of 40 articles obtained from dimensions’ dataset. In this study, bibliometric analysis is used to highlight the number of publications, citations, and authors in this field. Thematic analysis with inductive reasoning is applied to extract the primary challenge themes mentioned in 23 articles. After reviewing the eligible articles; we categorized the challenges into three main themes: Teacher, Student, and Technology.
期刊介绍:
This interdisciplinary journal focuses on the exchange of relevant trends and research results and presents practical experiences gained while developing and testing elements of technology enhanced learning. It bridges the gap between pure academic research journals and more practical publications. So it covers the full range from research, application development to experience reports and product descriptions. Fields of interest include, but are not limited to: -Software / Distributed Systems -Knowledge Management -Semantic Web -MashUp Technologies -Platforms and Content Authoring -New Learning Models and Applications -Pedagogical and Psychological Issues -Trust / Security -Internet Applications -Networked Tools -Mobile / wireless -Electronics -Visualisation -Bio- / Neuroinformatics -Language /Speech -Collaboration Tools / Collaborative Networks
