The simulation models in our proposed ISBL modules provide realistic animations and can be explored on a 2D display (low-immersion mode) or via a virtual reality (VR) headset (high-immersion mode). b. A PBL activity that mimics real-world problems/projects that arise in the system being modeled, hence resembling situations that learners may encounter at a future workplace.By treating the immersive simulation environment as a real-world system, both formal andinformal learning are enabled by own actions of the learners during and after virtual site visits. Inother words, instead of physically visiting a real-world facility, students perform virtual visits ofthe simulated system to make
