Our new paper, "The Programmable Learning Space: Immersive Settings as Knowledge-Organising Systems," explores how virtual and mixed-reality environments act as active epistemic infrastructures. The study demonstrates how these immersive technologies are fundamentally reshaping how knowledge is structured, interacted with, and validated within global higher education systems.
