The usage of technology in instruction promotes different ways for students to interact with the educational material at hand. Virtual tools can be interactive and responsive in real-time, which adds a new layer of feedback to the user. Extended reality (XR) tools encompass augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality (MR). They provide an interactive nature and a three-dimensional immersive environment, non-attainable by traditional means. This symposium is for practitioners and researchers at all levels who have used XR to complement instruction, training, or as a means of assessment to address challenges when teaching chemistry. Presenters can discuss topics such as the advantages and limitations of using XR in the classroom or laboratory, the extent to which XR materials have impacted attitude, affect, or learning, and how XR materials can be used to promote inclusion or accessibility.
