Immersion
A phenomenon experienced when in a state of deep mental involvement, in which
cognitive processes cause a shift in attentional state such that one may disassociate from
awareness of the physical World.

Interpreting and planning the immersive
learning approach

Use of Immersive Learning Environments.

8. For instance, could it be that “Skill training” is the use of
immersive learning that is aligned with your goals?
