Abstract
The use of learning support technologies has been evidenced, associated with environments such as Moodle. Based on this, and considering the new technological contexts, extended reality (XR) is greatly beneficial to accelerating learning processes due to its immersion, first person interaction, customisation and realism characteristics. However, its mass use has been limited by the difficulties of access to technologies, but even more so by the difficulties of design and development of this type of experience. This research proposes a design guide to facilitate development by non-expert users, as a first step to automate the creation of XR learning experiences. Recommendations for the incorporation and development of game components and narratives are provided. Thus, it is possible to set game objectives different from training objectives, incorporating game mechanics. A case of application in risk prevention training in construction is developed to demonstrate its reliability.
