Abstract
Creating authentic learning environments that mimic real-life workplace situations encountered by accounting professionals raises several challenges for educators. This study aims to respond to those challenges by proposing a learning prototype that enlightens the benefits of the classroom-as-organization model instructional model supported by a learning management system combined with a 360° and Virtual reality immersive learning platform. The learning prototype integrates virtual reality digital content at three levels of instructional design to fully replicate a business organization's real-life context. This chapter provides an overview of the course structure and components along with guidelines for instructional design. The prototype represents an attractive alternative to business simulations and 3-D virtual worlds to create technology-enabled immersive learning experiences. Further developments would be necessary to provide instructional design methodologies that can assist educators in creating successful immersive learning experiences for management accounting education.
