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.
