Education and training activities have utilized many technologies including extended reality. This generic qualitative inquiry study looks at the lessons learned from implementing extended reality in education and training with the intent of identifying what areas should be looked at that will assist in implementing this advanced technology that benefits learning and the learner. Extended reality includes augmented reality, virtual reality, mixed reality, and simulation. Occupations using extended reality for education and training need a way to identify the factors that influence and optimize the effective use and employment of this technology. The research question is to determine what lessons were learned from implementing extended reality in education and training. An understanding of these lessons may provide some clarity on reasons implementations stand a better chance to succeed or fail. Twelve professionals with experience in both education and technology were interviewed using Zoom and asked a series or 11 questions in three categories that focused on pre-planning, implementation, and post implementation designed to elicit the participants experiences, ideas, and lessons learned during this activity. The findings provide a list of areas that should be considered such as time management, focusing on the learners through all stages of implementation, and identifying different ways that extended reality can be used for education and training.
