Original Description: We brighten up the iLRN Illuminators’ Forum this Friday with Episode #7 —
part of our ongoing global scan for the State of XR & Immersive Learning.
This session is structured deliberately around collective sense-making:
• Signals — a short opening scan of recent developments shaping immersive learning
• Vision — a featured presentation from Dr. Fridolin Wild, sharing insights from the iLRN Circle of Scholars’ Vision 2030 Workshop
• Translation — a second scan volley that brings those ideas back down to practice, implications, and open questions for the field
The goal isn't prediction, but orientation: how emerging signals, long-range scholarly thinking, and grounded dialogue anchored in evidence can better inform what we choose to build next—together. Let's build for good. Let's scan, envision, & build together!
