The use of extended reality (XR) technologies, namely Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR) and Mixed Reality (MR) in education, has attracted much attention in recent years. Many educators have described how XR benefits learners and how useful AR and VR technologies are in the classroom. However, creating AR and VR educational tools, apps or learning environments is a complex process, hence providing an immersive learning experience using these technologies is not a straightforward journey. As a result, the adoption of these emerging technologies in education might be delayed or halted despite their reported benefits to today’s learners. In this paper, websites, technical articles, academic journals, reports and mobile app stores, relating to the use of XR technologies in education, have been examined. A number of themes have emerged and been reported in this paper, which provides a roadmap for those who would like to create XR experiences for learning and training purposes. The paper also describes the factors that should be considered when selecting an option to follow to introduce such immersive learning experiences.
