  • Patent number: 11990059
    Abstract: A system and associated methods facilitate administration of assessments within an extended reality learning environment. Assessment recordings captured during administration can be used for grading and professional development purposes, and can also serve to enable students to “enter” assessment recordings during future study sessions to aid in understanding of educational concepts. The system further facilitates collaborative learning through review sessions that can use the assessment recordings to provide and record feedback to further improve learning outcomes.
