Immersive Learning Solutions (ILS)

The eLearning Guild's recent research on Immersive Learning Simulations (ILS) reports that in the next 12 months there will be a:

• 72% growth in simulation and scenario-based learning, and
• 37% growth in e-learning games

Although the use of ILS is on the rise, there are still a number of barriers that prevent organizations from using games in e-learning - from a perceived difficulty in building this type of interacivity, to questions about the costs to build ILS, to the appropriateness of using "games" for e-learning. Of course, no one believes that corporate training games and ILS will be a passing fad.
