And so, we built the recommendation tool
this way…

Phase 1:
Teaching Training
Context Identification
How the tool works
Phase 2:
Ranking Uses by
Immersion Proximity
Phase 3:
Provide Matrix of
Pedagogical Examples
Phase 4:
Plan the Immersive
Educational Activities

14. Sample outcome (surprise!)
Is really “Skill Training” the most relevant use for of
immersive environments for your educational planning?

Sets from educator context
Based on immersion theory
Assumes no educational approach is optimal
Validate and improve questionnaire
Validate relationships & results
Improve recommendation quality & examples
