Samenvatting
This 2032 future scenario centers on a hybrid, modular learning environment in which XR plays a pivotal role. XR makes it possible to gain hands-on practice experiences in a safe, controlled and adaptive manner. Learning becomes more flexible, more personalized and less bound to a specific location. Devices are integrated with learning management systems, providing real-time insight into learning outcomes. XR is deployed not only as a learning tool but also as a social connectivity layer. Institutions operate on an open and shared infrastructure and adhere to a national quality framework that safeguards aspects as technique, content and public values such as privacy and accessibility. Professionals utilise a shared knowledge infrastructure and active communities for support and knowledge exchange. Collaboration with the private sector and government is more in balance and rests on clear mutual agreements.
