“…Additionally, XR-based learning design and development is often guided by intuitive and common-sense approaches rather than a well-researched educational affordance analysis, potentially impacting the learning effectiveness and outcomes [12,27,28]. Failed XR learning adoption cases can relate to users' technology literacy deficiencies, including lack of VR experience, need for technical support and comprehensive onboarding [29],…”

“…Elevation of instructional interaction points to complex interactions with the virtual environments and NPCs, allowing for conceptual absorption of effective practices. Finally, effective support notes the need for onboarding, ongoing training, and technical support [29] to ensure an efficient learning process. Additionally, Ke and colleagues [12] described the graduate participants demonstrating a more precise understanding and application of the embedded teaching knowledge by leveraging the situated learning in the simulated environment [12].…”

With the rise of the metaverse, extended reality (XR), which includes virtual, augmented, and mixed reality, has emerged as a key alternative education medium alongside more traditional online and onsite approaches. The onset of COVID-19 accelerated the efforts of private education companies in this sector to explore enhanced education opportunities in vocational training. Companies that produce immersive learning platforms integrate partners, content creators, and customers, focusing on the future by supporting soft skills. Immersive learning has helped a substantial number of workers to use XR learning methods to acquire knowledge faster, measure and validate their skills, and find upward mobility in the workforce through improved, on-demand accessibility options. This article examines an XR development plan through a diffusion of innovation framework coupled with social capital theory. A literature review reveals organizations’ ability to capitalize on soft skills development while expanding global accessibility options for adult learners to improve learning equity opportunities.
