2019-20 Expert Panel Activities
Activity Dashboard
Welcome to the official expert panel workspace for the 2019-20 State of XR and Immersive Learning project! The Immersive Learning Network (iLRN) has partnered with IEEE ICICLE, EDUCAUSE, and the Consortium for School Networking (CoSN) to create iLRN’s inaugural State of XR and Immersive Learning Report, which combines a systematic review and synthesis of the scholarly evidence and knowledge base on XR and immersive learning with a Delphi-inspired environmental scanning and forecasting exercise in the vein of the well-known Horizon Project. From late July through early November 2019, an esteemed global expert panel of educators, researchers, technologists, education leaders, and others will leverage this workspace to openly discuss their perspectives and research on applications of immersive learning technologies across all learning sectors. These discussions will be the springboard for the research and production of an official report that showcases the findings — currently slated for public release in early 2020.
