In today’s modern, technology-driven world, faculty are often seeking ways to deliver a more engaging and effective learning experience. Augmented reality (AR) is a powerful tool offering a variety of benefits to university teaching. From providing a lifelike virtual environment to helping students visualize complex scientific concepts, AR can revolutionize the way faculty teach (López-Belmonte et al., 2020).

As an early adopter and enthusiast for immersive technology in schools, I’ve had the opportunity to share ways to use augmented and virtual reality to transform learning with educators around the world. I provide staff development and training, and many of the teachers I work with are enthusiastic about trying new tools. For some, it’s the wow factor of using something novel or exciting; for others, it’s the allure of seeing their students highly engaged with new technologies.

"Immersive learning is increasingly being used in corporate organizations for employee training and development purposes. Learning and development (L&D) professionals have realized that in order to enhance the absorption and retention of skills and knowledge to the maximum, they need to help learners/employees experience things first hand. But, this is not possible at all times, so the second best thing is to create simulated or artificial environments around learners/employees that let them learn as if learning from a real experience. Immersive learning provides learners with an engaging environment that is highly interactive both virtually as well as physically, putting them in the middle of a learning experience. But how can corporate organizations incorporate learning in their digital learning programs?"
