Teaching and Learning Immersive Technology in Education Sciences

The immense potential of the immersive technology application in education has irreversibly shifted the status quo of pedagogic emphases across the disciplines and all levels of education. This shift, in turn, demands Higher Education in education sciences to adapt to these changes and to provide programmes and courses, where future specialists and researchers in such fields as technology enhanced learning, education technology solutions and applications can gain their expertise and qualifications. This research was conducted as a case study analysis of teaching and learning immersive technology in the field of education sciences at a university Masters level course “Virtual and Augmented Technology for Education”. This paper analyses teaching approaches and learner experience during two consecutive course years in order to formulate the findings and conclusions valuable for future application in the field of education sciences and potentially more broadly across the disciplines.
