iLEAD Stream - Immersive Learning Education and Design

We are pleased to announce the Immersive Learning Education and Design (iLEAD) Stream, formerly the iLRN Practitioner Stream. For the upcoming iLRN 2025 conference, we seek contributions on topics that will contribute actionable insights, design strategies, and best practices pertinent to immersive education and design. We invite submissions that expand the understanding of what works in immersive learning within K-12, higher education, workplace training, and industry contexts. We aim to recognize your achievements and create a repository of expert knowledge.

Proposals

Proposals in the Immersive Learning Education and Design (iLEAD) stream include the submission of an extended abstract for various presentation formats. Publication in the iLEAD conference proceedings is possible but not required for presentation. Potential iLEAD presentation formats are:

• Oral presentation

For all presentation formats, please submit an Extended Abstract (2 to 5 pages in iLRN Proceedings format, incl. references) with a summary of your contribution to immersive learning education and design.
