Immersive Learning - II

What if I tell you that your kid is not in a classroom while in school, rather he is in a cave sitting with an old caveman!Or, your 3rd-grader is not learning spelling but working as a bank cashier? Do I see your jaw falling?

The response is expected! And that is precisely what Immersive Learning is all about. Learners are completely immersed into the environment where they need to apply their skills and they learn while they do their tasks. I was going through http://www.experiencia.org/ - a unique learning experience for school going kids. This is a perfect example of how Immersive Learning works.

One of the key differences between traditional online simulations and ILS is that the learner is in the real environment. Give it a shot and your learners are sure to love it!

Please post any good examples that you come across here, meanwhile, I will come up with a case study for all of us to work on, till then...
