Slide 6
Asking Questions for the medium
1- Questions related to the social connectedness– Will bringing a group of participants together at the same time and in
the same space improve the learning or experience?
2- Questions related to application of visual and spatial capabilities– Does conveying learning content visually, and particularly in 3D, help
participants better understand it?
– Will leveraging the native and constructed visual and spatial opportunity for visual or place-based learning benefit your project?
3 -Questions related to technical constraints– Does the organization and/or project team understand the technical
environment and global infrastructure requirements for virtual social environments?

When we use immersive spaces
When learners need to:
…develop and apply skills, leverage rehearsal settings, simulation, role playing, or hands-on practice across global boundaries with multiple participants where real-time cooperation and coordination are key elements;

Slide 8
When we use immersive spaces
When learners need to:
…view, model or prototype complex concepts, methods, data or ideas in a commonly accessible space. This practice leverages space and scale affordances of virtual environments and game engines.
Examples include: Complex process mapping, granularity within a model, getting inside a device or machine, constructing an object or device, conceptual orienteering and break/risk/assemble something you
could not affordably break/risk/assemble in real life;
