The Career XRcade (CXR) Framework is our platform for college students to create educational immersive learning experiences that prepare high school students to virtually explore diverse career paths and job environments. Applying Design Science Research Methodology, we use the framework in developing two virtual worlds: Cybersecurity Land and Esports Land visualizing five career paths within Cybersecurity and Esports industries. This work-in-progress paper presents the CXR framework consisting of project roadmapping, engagement of industry experts, integration of curriculum and learning objectives, collaborative XR design and
development, and feedback loop and iteration. To understand the collaborative application of our framework, we conducted user studies with three groups of stakeholders engaged in the development of our case studies: student developers, instructional designers, and industry professionals. These qualitative data and insights assist in evaluating the framework’s influence in
enhancing developers’ career identity, self-efficacy, and collaboration. The insights motivate the implementation of collaborative frameworks for developing educational XR material in academic settings.
