Immersive Learning is a relatively new term, describing the use of computer-gaming technologies to create highly engaging simulation-based learning environments. These virtual environments emotionally engage people through the use of adventure or strategy. Players learn as they play, with progress checkpoints acting as a platform for knowledge and content assessment. Learners learn-by-doing, and can experience the consequences of bad decisions. They need to apply critical thinking to solve problems much as an airline pilot learns how to deal with an event that cannot be safely replicated in the real world.

Immersive Learning and simulation-based technologies have been embraced by educators, particularly in cases where the skills required are of a complex and dangerous nature, such as military operations, medical procedures and industrial training. Immersive, technology-enhanced learning has proven to have great efficacy in terms of accelerating learning (speed to competency), improving retention, and providing the cognitive basis for skills competency.

Many federal regulations require employers to demonstrate that all reasonable steps have been implemented to ensure their workers are capable of performing their jobs competently and safely.
