How immersive reality will change andragogy's future?
Technology and adult education
Virtual adult education has become an increasingly popular and effective way of learning in recent years. Immersive reality is a convergence of various technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and game-based reality. The prognosis of educational scientists and technology revolutioners highly emphasizes that Al technologies will change adult learning and already offer a highly interactive and realistic experience to the users, allowing them to step into a virtual world that simulates real life. Futuristic ideas became part of real life.
On a practical level adult educators emphasized that for them it is very actual how effectively and based on andragogy principles should be organized online activities. Virtual and augmented reality technologies have revolutionized the way that education and training are delivered, particularly for adult learners. Adult educators focused on virtual/augmented reality strive to harness these technologies to enhance their learners' learning experiences. They will use these advanced technologies to create immersive learning environments, simulations, and interactive scenarios that help adult learners develop practical skills and knowledge.
In the field of adult education, virtual and augmented reality technologies are also used to expand access to education and training, particularly for learners who are not able to attend classes in person, due to geographical or other reasons. Virtual and augmented reality have numerous applicability in adult education. They offer immersive and engaging experiences, improving retention and understanding of complex concepts. Virtual reality has the potential to revolutionize non-formal learning by providing learners with immersive and engaging learning experiences that are not possible with traditional learning methods.
Let’s discuss how virtual andragogy will change adult education
How to accept and integrate Al into adult education? What is the applicability of Al, VR, and AR in adult education?
For example, in museum - to connect history and immersive reality. The art gallery presents a hologram box guide. In art activities use Al for creativity stimulation. In the field of language learning, VR can enhance cultural immersion and provide realistic scenarios for learners to practice their language in. Virtual and augmented reality can be used for in-company training programs, allowing to enhance their skills and knowledge in a cost-effective and time-efficient manner.
That's why we would like to initiate within this project framework discussion that focus on how Al will change way of learning, thinking in adult education.
Share your experience!
We would like to invite you to share your experience and insights on how artificial intelligence (AL) will change adult education in the near future. The webinar will be organized in March 2024.

This text explores how…
This text explores how immersive reality is transforming adult education through technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). It also discusses how these tools are changing the way we teach and learn, focusing on principles of andragogy (adult education) to make the experience more effective and accessible.
With this text I have learned several concepts. First, immersive reality can be used as an educational tool as technology such as VR which can offer interactive experiences that simulate real life, allowing adults to learn in a practical and engaging way. They also have expanded accessibility and are useful for people who cannot attend face-to-face classes due to geographical or personal barriers, offering innovative and flexible solutions. This new approach to andragogy also has revolutionary potential as immersive reality can transform non-formal learning, making complex concepts more understandable and educational experiences more memorable.
