Abstract: New Media is an emerging field in education, and the use of immersive technologies for teaching and learning provides opportunities for students to learn digital and media literacies. Whilst it is an emerging field, there has been a dearth of studies on the integration of immersive virtual reality in combination with arts-based pedagogies conducted in remote Aboriginal schools. This chapter provides insights into two kinds of immersive virtual reality technologies that were used as part of a designed learning environment to engage students in a remote Aṉangu school community located in Central Australia. Media arts knowledge and skills were taught within a culturally responsive and community of practice framework that highlights the potential of this approach for all students.
