Immersive Learning, Immersive Scenarios, and Immersive Technologies

Abstract

In online learning the positive effect of using multimedia continues to grow gradually with the use of interactive video and interactive multimedia. Parallel to virtual reality, augmented reality, mixed reality, and extended reality, known as immersive technologies, are becoming popular, and the point of view for online learning has been improved and expanded. This context opened an opportunity to the concepts like immersive learning, immersive learning environments, and immersive scenarios to emerge. What are the model implementations of immersive technology use? What kind of studies have been conducted by using which immersive technologies? In order to answer all of these questions, it is aimed to systematically review the literature in the SCOPUS database between the years 2018-2022 and analyze the applied research. Thus, it will be possible to create an insight directed to the immersive learning scenarios in immersive learning environments and design the learning environments of the future in online learning.

Teaching chemistry in the metaverse: the effectiveness of using virtual and augmented reality for visualization

“…The study has an experimental research design and uses analytical, psychodiagnostic, and statistical methods to collect and interpret data. The research framework is built on the concept of Metaverse -a fully immersive virtual world created with the help of advanced technologies, such as VR and AR technologies (Oktay and Yüzer, 2023).…”

“…The idea of Augmented Reality (AR) is drawing both students and educators (Mundy et al, 2019). Immersive technologies (augmented, mixed and virtual reality) are becoming increasingly popular in education, expanding the possibilities of online learning through the creation of immersive scenarios and learning environments (Oktay and Yüzer, 2023). Various visualization methods are used to process big data in VR and AR; meantime, modelling and statistical analysis take place in the metaverse in real time (Siwach et al, 2022).…”
