• Abstract:
  mmersive Virtual Learning Environments (IVLEs) are extensively used in training, but few rigorous scientifi c investigations regarding ; the transfer of learning have been conducted. Measurement of learning transfer through evaluative methods is key for determining ; the likelihood of equivalent performance post-training intervention. Research has shown that immersive virtual learning environments ; are advantageous for training psychomotor activities and spatial activities, but it is unclear whether these environments are benefi cial ; in memorizing a procedure. More important than the IVLE technology, however, is the ability of IVLEs to provide higher critical ; thinking for learners. IVLEs are often implemented through the use of game-based technology, which is argued to hold the promise ; for fostering critical thinking skills and other 21st century skills.
