Jisc’s XR Maturity Toolkit

Jisc’s Extended Reality (XR) Maturity Toolkit is a timely, practical guide for institutions looking to adopt or scale immersive learning using AR, VR and mixed reality. Centred around the SCALE model (Start, Consider, Adopt, Level-up, Expand), it offers a clear progression framework across six key domains:

• Vision and Strategy – How XR aligns with institutional goals and strategic planning.
• Staff and Student Experience – Engagement, support, and value provided to users.
• Content Development – Creation, adaptation, and sharing of immersive learning materials.
• Pedagogy – The learning and teaching approaches underpinning XR use.
• Digital Capabilities and Skills – Skills development and confidence in using XR tools.
• Infrastructure – Technical readiness, hardware, software, and support systems.

Developed with the ALT/Jisc XR and Wales XR communities, the toolkit balances strategic planning with hands-on tools like checklists and templates. Its emphasis on inclusivity, accessibility, and ethical deployment makes it especially valuable in a rapidly evolving XR landscape.

Free to access under a Creative Commons licence, it’s well-suited for educational leaders, curriculum planners, and learning technologists seeking structured, sector-informed XR guidance.
