The concept
The four-quadrant type
The template presented here is based on an idea by Fred Herritsch, who uses a 4-quadrant view in engineering education. This approach is adapted to the needs of professional education, with the goal of making it easier for the user to access complex equipment or workflows. In this template, one quadrant is reserved for the presentation of the context (Q2), while the other is intended to illustrate the specific learning item using different media, including XR (e.g., 3D models, 360° images and videos, text, interactive videos, quizzes, etc.). The four-quadrant layout allows for easy visualization and manipulation of these elements, making it easier for learners to understand and interact with the material at a glance.
The use of this template enables the creation of various learning applications in the field of professional education and training. The context quadrant should allow the user to easily access and understand complex devices or workflows. The remaining quadrants can be used to address different use cases and user groups with minimal changes to the original content. This template not only meets the requirements of an effective XR application, but also complies with the "principle of complete action" by providing space for tasks and supporting different steps in the learning process. These include providing additional information, decision support, opportunities to review results, and support for evaluating the process.
