Through University Students’ Headsets: To Immerse or Not to Immerse in New Learning Experiences

Summary/Abstract: Integrating technology-enhanced resources and activities into university curriculanecessitates a restructuring of teaching programmes. To achieve a synergisticeffect, conventional methods should be replaced with active learning approachesthat provide students with innovative, engaging, and collaborative ways of buildingknowledge suited to contemporary society. Virtual reality (VR) is among thetechnological innovations expected to transform education into interactive andimmersive learning environments. This paper investigates whether integrating VRinto university courses can, in students’ opinions, increase their interest in a deeperunderstanding of complex phenomena, and whether it may translate into greaterengagement and improved achievement of learning outcomes. The challenges ofimplementing such instructional design are examined through an analysis of surveyresponses from bachelor’s and master’s students at Gdańsk University of Technology(Gdańsk Tech), collected in June and July 2025.
