- Towards an immersive learning knowledge tree: a conceptual framework for mapping knowledge and tools in the fieldPublication . Beck, Dennis; Morgado, Leonel; Lee, Mark; Gütl, Christian; Dengel, Andreas; Wang, Minjuan; Warren, Scott; Richter, JonathonThe interdisciplinary field of immersive learning research is scattered. Combining efforts for better exploration of this field from the different disciplines requires researchers to communicate and coordinate effectively. We call upon the community of immersive learning researchers for planting the Knowledge Tree of Immersive Learning Research, a proposal for a systematization effort for this field, combining both scholarly and practical knowledge, cultivating a robust and ever-growing knowledge base and methodological toolbox for immersive learning. This endeavor aims at promoting evidence-informed practice and guiding future research in the field. This paper contributes with the rationale for three objectives: 1) Developing common scientific terminology amidst the community of researchers; 2) Cultivating a common understanding of methodology, and 3) Advancing common use of theoretical approaches, frameworks, and models.
- Research priorities in immersive learning technology: the perspectives of the iLRN communityPublication . Gaspar, Horácio; Morgado, Leonel; São Mamede, Henrique; Oliveira, Teresa; Fernandez-Manjon, Baltasar; Gütl, ChristianThis paper presents the perspectives of the immersive learning research network community on the relevance of various challenges to the adoption of immersive learning technology, along three dimensions: access, content production, and deployment. Using a previously validated questionnaire, we surveyed this community of 622 researchers and practitioners during the summer of 2018, attaining 54 responses. By ranking the challenges individually and within each dimension, the results point towards higher relevance being placed on aspects that link immersive environments with learning management systems and pedagogical tasks, alongside aspects that empower non-technical users (educational actors) to produce interactive stories, objects, and characters.
- Immersive learning research from the perspective of its researchers and practitioners: questionnaire validation and early results from a survey on a conceptual framework for the fieldPublication . Morgado, Leonel; Beck, Dennis; Gütl, Christian; Oliveira, Teresa; Richter, JonathonImmersive learning research is a field of study that emphasizes diversity of scholarship and subject areas. This diversity presents a challenge for understanding the breadth and depth of the field of immersive learning, a challenge that led to the Immersive Learning Research Network’s call for the community of immersive learning researchers to develop a conceptual framework supporting a common understanding of this diverse field - The Immersive Learning Knowledge Tree. However, this structure has not had its underlying assumptions validated by the larger, diverse community of immersive learning researchers and practitioners. Thus, we developed, validated, and disseminated across associations of the field a questionnaire for analyzing the assumptions, structure, and relevance of the Knowledge Tree proposal. Early results point towards overwhelming agreement from the community on the premise that the field of immersive learning research is muddled/fragmented, the current knowledge partially disjointed, specifically among different disciplines (Q3), due to its interdisciplinary nature. There are also strong indications supporting the premise that researchers active in the field of immersive learning research desire to combine their efforts with others.
- Exploring the future of immersive educationPublication . Callaghan, Victor; Gardner, Michael; Peña-Rios, Anasol; Beck, Dennis; Gütl, Christian; Morgado, Leonel; Richter, Jonathon; Wu, Hsuan-YiThis extended abstract describes the #iLRN16_SFP workshop which opened the iLRN'16 conference held in Santa Barbra, California USA from the 27th June to the 1st July 2016. The main focus of the workshop was exploring future trends and expectations for research into immersive learning. The event was a collaboration between the Creative Science Foundation and the Immersive Learning Research Network.
- Research Agenda 2030: the great questions of immersive learning researchPublication . Dengel, Andreas; Steinmaurer, Alexander; Müller, Lea Marie; Platz, Melanie; Wang, Minjuan; Gütl, Christian; Pester, Andreas; Morgado, LeonelThe research areas of the Immersive Learning community cover many different interests and perspectives on teaching and learning with immersive technologies. Based on existing efforts to map the field of research, we gathered 35 participants at the iLRN 2022 conference during an open hybrid workshop. These volunteers formed expert groups focusing on five possible perspectives on Immersive Learning. The expert groups gathered and summarized possible research questions with regards to an “Agenda 2030”, meaning the most intriguing questions that should be addressed during the years to come. We let all participants vote on these research endeavors regarding their academic value and importance for the community. As a results, we gathered a total of 23 ranked questions. These questions were subsumed into ten topics forming a Research Agenda for Immersive Learning 2030 (RAIL.2030).
