Abstract

Building on the iLRN2024 panel "Interactive & Immersive Learning Media in Higher Education – XR and Beyond," this session explored advancements in immersive learning through a Delphi expert review. The panel systematically gathered expert input on the challenges, opportunities, and best practices for integrating Interactive and Immersive Learning Media (ILM) in higher education. A multi-phase Delphi approach was used to extract, refine, and prioritize expert insights across key domains, including pedagogical integration, institutional adoption, interdisciplinary collaboration, ethical considerations, and technological challenges. Panelists presented findings from this process, discussing strategic visions for XR implementation, impactful design principles, and emerging trends shaping ILM. Attendees gained actionable insights for implementing immersive technologies in education, informed by a rigorous expert validation process.
