SocialVR offers a variety of learning opportunities as embodiment in spheres for creation and exploration. Hybrid creativity in participatory media culture meets agency beyond physical limitations. Yet, with strong affective and multi-sensorial stimulation, it is vital to match learners` heterogeneous abilities and preconditions. This workshop is addressing art educators as well as XR- platform designers for joint interdisciplinary perspectives. How do platforms engage or inhibit creative potential? How accessible and safe are SocialVR environments for creative purposes? We suggest a classification of SocialVR scenarios in art education and respective quality criteria. The criteria as suggested stretch from accessibility, room for creativity and aesthetic
flexibility to ethical implications.
