Drawing on conceptual chapters, empirical studies, and practical examples, the volume examines how immersive learning can support teaching practice, reflection, professional identity, empathy, and teacher agency. It includes work on virtual microteaching, classroom simulation, learning analytics, inclusive design, ethics, accessibility, and the practical conditions that shape adoption. The contributors also examine the limits and risks of immersive learning, including questions of access, cost, data use, cultural relevance, and equity. The book shows how immersive technologies can provide additional spaces for teachers to practise, reflect, receive feedback, and work through difficult classroom situations. The volume is intended for teacher educators, researchers, educational technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers interested in the role of immersive learning in teacher preparation and professional development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDara Tafazoli (PhD, University of Cordoba, Spain) is Senior Research Officer at the University of Newcastle.

She is particularly interested in the role emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and simulation, play in reshaping, mediating, and at times distorting our engagement with the past. Emma’s work challenges conventional understandings of historical knowledge and raises critical questions about truth, narrative authority, and historical consciousness in the digital age.
