Characteristics of Immersive Learning Environments
Interactivity, social interaction, and engagement The more actively people engage with a learning environment the
more they learn Immersive learning environments are infused with
information, virtual 3-D places embody information Participants “go inside the subject”
Exploring, sharing, and co-constructing immersive environments with others enhances co-presence, deepens learning, and enriches perspective
