The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,454,932 Project Grant under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to Clemson University. The grant, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: RESOURCE COLLABORATIVE FOR IMMERSIVE TECHNOLOGIES (RECITE)", aims to accelerate the integration of extended reality (XR) technologies, including 360° photography/videography, augmented reality, mixed reality, and virtual reality, into technician education programs. The key objectives are to: 1) Assess XR adoption and create implementation resources for two-year colleges; 2) Develop XR technology faculty professional development; 3) Create an XR technology website and product repository; and 4) Grow XR implementation by connecting high schools, academia, and industry. The project is expected to contribute to best practices, design principles, and evidence-based recommendations for effectively integrating inclusive and accessible XR experiences into technician education. No subawards are planned under this grant, which has an award date of October 1, 2023 and runs through September 30, 2026.
