Immersive learning is often described in the same sentence as virtual reality or three dimensional environments. However, immersive learning is engaging in experiences that provide the learner some autonomy, real world problems that could involve role play, simulation, and the ability to suspend disbelief. These immersive learning experiences can be designed with multimedia tools that can include video, audio, images, and three dimensional spaces. They are not exclusive to virtual environments. This discussion will focus on what practical and accessible technology can be merged with best practices for learning. Some virtual reality is not practical, easy, nor cheap, so educators must consider focusing on affordable solutions that are easy to use, while also engaging students in relatable, affordable immersed experiences.
