Immersiveness: 101
While classroom settings are invaluable in providing quality science education, science learning can also happen outside of the classroom in a variety of settings. Informal science institutions (ISIs) such as museums, science centers, aquariums, zoos, and environmental centers are critical in encouraging learners of all ages to explore scientific phenomena and processes in engaging, interactive ways.
In the digital age where information is just a tap or click away on the web, ISIs have a unique dilemma that can actually be seen as an opportunity to create innovative, visionary experiences for visitors through immersion.
Immersiveness is a new concept that examines and integrates exhibit vision, visitor experience, and exhibit goals to create one-of-a-kind experiences geared toward making learning exciting and interactive.
