Book 1: Scholarly Infrastructure & Governance Patterns
PurposeThis book documents patterns for designing, governing, and sustaining the shared infrastructure that supports immersive learning as a scholarly field.
It focuses on how repositories, publishing systems, libraries, standards, and governance models enable immersive learning artifacts—such as XR experiences, datasets, and multimodal scholarship—to function as durable, citable knowledge rather than isolated projects.
