Introduction
Jonathon Richter, Ed.D. is co-founder and Executive Director of the Immersive Learning Research Network (iLRN), a global non-profit corporation dedicated to finding and showcasing the evidence for "what works" in immersive learning experiences. His research interest is, thus, in defining and cultivating immersive learning research across the disciplines. Richter is also Chair of Digital Design Tech at Salish Kootenai College on the Flathead Indian Reservation and performs research and evaluation of design projects at the University of Montana's Broader Impacts Groups. His research interests locally are in co-design of the choreography, assessment, & evaluation of cross-reality experiences situating people, land, wilderness, and natural resources in culturally meaningful experiences.
