Abstract
Immersive learning experiences support real-life contexts for meaningful teaching and provide authentic learning opportunities for tourism students. This empirically based study aims to investigate how the incorporation of immersive visualisation as a teaching technique enhances student engagement and learning abilities. Student engagement was examined within three key areas: active engagement, narration, co-presence. The research outcomes confirm that immersive visualisation (technique) enhanced students understanding, level of focus, their thinking skills and learning abilities. Further research is recommended into the application of immersive visualisation as a support tool to achieve student learning outcomes. Currently an extension of this study is being completed to further evaluate engagement and learning outcomes.
