Abstract

This study aims to analyse how learning occurs in immersive environments, their characteristics, benefits, and limitations. A systematic literature review methodology was adopted following the PRISMA protocol. The results show that Virtual Reality enables the creation of immersive virtual environments in which students can actively interact and explore. These simulated environments offer students the opportunity to experience authentic situations and apply their knowledge in a practical way.
