Michael Nebeling, assistant professor at the University of Michigan School of Information, spoke recently with AR Post about the free Coursera Extended Reality For Everybody specialization he created with a team at the U-M Center for Academic Innovation, where he serves as XR Faculty Innovator-in-Residence.

The three-part specialization was designed with a broad audience in mind: students, instructors, designers and developers, researchers, librarians, managers and entrepreneurs. It gives learners the chance to enroll in one course to learn the basics about the technology or take a deeper dive and earn certification for successful completion of all three.
