Immersive learning can have a huge impact when it’s built around learner performance and not the technology. You don't just want high engagement; you also want high learning transfer. We’ve all seen it. Learners love the 360 videos. They enjoy the escape room. They explore the learning environment. And when they go back to work, they do exactly what they were doing before.

This session addresses that critical challenge. We will discuss how to design an immersive experience that also changes behavior instead of just impressing stakeholders (although it will do that too).Grounded in the Action-First Learning approach, this session demonstrates how to anchor 360° video, and a digital escape room around a learning framework by  beginning with the question: “What must the learner be able to do tomorrow morning at 10:15?”Using real examples which include healthcare contamination identification training, as well as sales rep training, you’ll see how immersive tools can be structured around decision-making, feedback, and consequence. 

We’ll examine how misaligned mechanics dilute performance impact, and how intentional design strengthens behavioral transfer. But we won’t stop at the immersive event. Even well-designed immersive learning can decay without reinforcement. That’s where microlearning enters the model. You’ll see how immersive decisions can be extended through microlearning prompts and spaced retrieval challenges. Immersion becomes the catalyst; reinforcement makes it stick.

In this session you will:

• Determine when immersive learning is the right solution and when it is not
• Gather ideas on creating immersive 360 experiences Anchor 360° and escape room experiences to observable performance behaviors.
• Create simple post-immersion reinforcement sequences using a microlearning framework.
