Immersive learning research with individuals with autism as research partners

• In Event: RTD- New Perspectives on Learning Design Research (h)

Short Description

The purpose of this session is to present participatory action research as a methodological approach that stands contrary to dominant research in the area of immersive learning research with individuals with autism. We present as an example case our participatory research design with this population. We highlight how we sought to foreground the language, methods and values of individuals with autism and discuss how this could potentially widen impact of our and others’ research.
