What is Immersive Learning?
The Learning Amplifier
‘Immersion’ is an experience that deeply engages and captivates a person’s senses, emotions, and attention. Immersive learning is the practice of integrating powerful immersive moments into instruction. Research suggests that when students experience an emotional connection to the subject matter, they are more likely to understand it, remember it and develop an affinity for that topic.
Education is changing. Our growing access to information is opening doors for students, and introducing them to places, people, and ideas like never before. Immersive experiences help educators to keep up with those expectations, and connect their students with far-off time periods, planets, and people.

We're amplifying their depth of understanding, we're amplifying the speed of understanding, we're amplifying the quality of the learning, and we're amplifying the quality of what comes back.
Students were fascinated and very engaged with the learning. I don’t think many of them realized they were actually learning.
Augmented Reality cracks open the door a bit for our students.
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
We want them to express themselves in the very best way they can. Open, free to express... Then, actually, we can achieve amazing things.
It really made you feel like you were in that crevasse and you were actually stuck in it. And for a moment, I got a little bit scared.
The pupils were able to really get to grips with the content and ideas in the lesson because the immersive experience brought it to life. Without this it would have been just looking at pictures which isn’t the same.
Augmented Reality allows my students to move around, and it actually helped me to see that some of my students are kinaesthetic learners.
Our first experience with the immersive platform was amazing... In combination with teaching the children about Ancient Greece, we were able to create our own world where the children were able to put together a replica of what an Ancient Greek city might look like... It really brought history to life for us.
Be ambitious, be brave, be open minded about how you use this software. The children are going to take this to places that you haven't imagined.
Experiencing something like this could help bring many strands together in a way that connects learning.
