Abstract

Adoption of immersive technologies in higher education can potentially offer novel and educative experiences. Despite the increasing amount of available XR content for education, adoption of XR for regular teaching at higher institutions appears to be still lagging. Some reasons for hesitancy in integrating the technologies in university courses are barriers such as lack of content, cost of equipment or expectations on technical knowledge required to use the technology. We run an immersive tech lab to support innovation in education. The lab supports educators with equipment and expertise to include immersive technologies in their courses. In this paper we present the results of a thematic analysis of interviews with lectures at a Norwegian higher education institution. Our contribution is to give further insight into factors the educators consider when adopting immersive technologies in their educational practices.
