According to international research and institutions, the Higher Education sector needs to deeply innovate his didactic methodologies. In this sense, the integration and use of ICTs have been seen as a possible driver for the improvement of education’ quality, and showed good affordances for teaching and learning in terms of engagement, communication and collaboration. New emerging technologies are now under experimentation, especially as for immersive environments from augmented to virtual reality.
