Effective immersive learning experiences are created within multiple media using myriad techniques and employing a wealth of knowledge that spans many disciplines. This includes but is not limited to computer science, user experience and media design, the learning sciences, architecture, game development, artificial intelligence, biology, medicine, and the thousands of disciplinary and occupational content areas wherein immersive learning and training may be relevant.

The Immersive Learning Research Network (iLRN) is an international organization of developers, educators, and research professionals collaborating to develop a scientific, technical, and applied potential of immersive learning. The vision of the immersive Learning Research Network (iLRN) is to develop a comprehensive research and outreach agenda that encompasses the breadth and scope of learning potentialities, affordances and challenges of immersive learning environments. The first international conference iLRN 2015 held in Prague has attracted 22 high-quality full papers from the iLRN main stream but also from the special tracks. As a follow-up, this special issue is organized as an open call to seek a wider set of contributions from the research community and also the authors of the best papers from iLRN ’15 will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers.

Thus, we are pleased to invite authors to submit their original work to a special issue of the Journal on Transactions on Future Intelligent Educational Environments. Expected length of manuscript contributions is between 12 and 20 pages. For authors to submit extended version of their conference papers, a signification extension of at least 30% must be considered.

This special issue welcomes submissions on (but not limited to) the following topics:

• Immersive Technologies, Systems and Devices
• Immersive Environments and Multidimensional Spaces
• Immersive Data Visualizations
• Wearable Technology
• Virtual and mixed-reality for education
• Collaboration and Social Computing in Education
