The majority of military education and training has not veered far from the days of “chalk and talk” teaching. Often with technological breakthroughs comes the proposal of the next revolution in multimedia instruction. Motion pictures to radios to educational television programs have all seemed to come and gone. The next wave of multimedia learning may involve more than a PowerPoint® presentation and lecture. Researchers continue to propose that virtual reality (VR) will find its true application and/or market in education and training. The jury is still out but continued scientific research will possibly someday release the full value in this exciting technology.The objective of the project was to develop and provide a low-cost scalable and portable VR system containing purposely designed and developed immersive virtual learning environments (VLE). The purpose of the research study was to empirically compare the routine classroom instructor-led training (i.e. lecture-based multimedia instruction) and immersive VLE training (i.e. VR-based multimedia instruction) in terms of learning and long-term retention of corrosion prevention and control (CPC) theories and principles in U.S. Army soldiers after taking an Army Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command (AMCOM) Corrosion Program Office’s CPC training course. Additionally specific features of the immersive VLE such as ease of use ease of learning user comfort likability acceptability and satisfaction were evaluated.This paper provides specific details on the experimental design the VR system the immersive VLEs and any available results.Keywords: corrosion immersive virtual learning environment learning long-term retention training multimedia
