Immersive Learning

Abstract

Immersive learning and technology are instructional strategies that use cutting-edge technologies to create dynamic and captivating learning environments. With this combination, the learning environment should be more immersive and productive, increasing the impact and engagement of education. Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are such innovative technologies that increase opportunities in education. This chapter examined how AR and VR are used in education, particularly during the knowledge dissemination. These technologies offer both teachers and students novel platforms for teaching by providing interactive environments, immersives and simulations that have revolutionised the field of learning tactics. However, to meet the huge demand in education, these technologies are still at their growing stage and require more resources. The chapter also focuses on the differences, and educational benefits of AR and VR, as well as the possibilities for mobile learning environments and future applications of these technologies in education.
