The 6th International Conference of the Immersive Learning Research Network
(iLRN 2020) will be an innovative and interactive gathering for a
burgeoning global network of researchers and practitioners collaborating to
develop the scientific, technical, and applied potential of immersive
learning. It is the premier scholarly event focusing on advances in the use
of virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), and
other extended reality (XR) technologies to support learners and learning.
iLRN 2020 will now be held ***fully online using VR*** and other
collaboration platforms, in partnership with Educators in VR, organizers of
the highly successful Educators in VR International Summit in February 2020
that included over 170 speakers and attracted over 6,000 event participants
from around the globe.
Scholars and professionals operating in formal education settings as well
as those representing diverse industry sectors are invited to participate
in the conference, where they will be able to share their research
findings, experiences, and insights; network and establish partnerships to
envision and shape the future of XR and immersive technologies for
learning; and contribute to the emerging scholarly knowledge base on how
these technologies can be used to create experiences that educate, engage,
and excite learners.
