Immersive Learning: 5 Practical Ways To Kickstart Your Immersive Learning Journey
Imagine this: you are standing in front of a group of your colleagues, trying your best to train them on the latest regulatory update. One of them is frowning, and you know his mind is on the work piled on his desk. One looks at her watch, trying to see how long to go before lunch. And worst of all, one of them has his hand inching towards his phone buzzing on the table. „Don’t do it!“ you want to shout, because you know his attention will be lost entirely when he looks at his phone. Whoever said kids have short attention spans should try corporate training with adults.
So, what is immersive learning? Simply put, immersive learning is active learning. Immersive learning seeks to do away with the traditional form of unidirectional learning and engage learners to actively participate in their learning by interacting and experimenting with an interactive learning environment. Currently, many technologies facilitate immersive learning experiences, such as Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and 360-degree videos. However, even simulations or gamification can be considered immersive learning, as long as they provide a high degree of learner interaction.
