“…We designed a real project background, rich alternative participant roles, maximize the mobilization of the students' thinking level on the basis of theoretical teaching, and flexibly construct a project scenario that can be experienced, interacted and cooperated with, and independently defined, so that students can become the protagonists, and greatly enhance the personal sense of existence and sense of belonging. In the process of immersive experience, students can complete the metamorphosis to project management engineers, and achieve the teaching goal of combining theoretical knowledge and engineering practice to cultivate talents (Sami Ur Rehman, Abouelkhier, & Shafiq, 2023;EIGewely & Nadim, 2020).…”

The goal of cultivating applied talents in colleges and universities is that students not only need to have sufficient theoretical knowledge and professional qualities, but also be able to comprehensively use professional skills to solve practical problems and create economic and social benefits for society. Therefore, in view of the current disconnect between theory and practice in construction engineering education. We should promote innovation in teaching systems and reform of internal operating mechanisms of courses. In the engineering project management course, we designed a real engineering project background, where students play the roles of seven types of participating parties and manage them independently to complete the main engineering activities from the project decision-making stage to the implementation stage. The result is that we have fundamentally subverted the previous pure case-based teaching with unclear goals.

“…The benefits of using ImTs have been discussed by many researchers (DelaCruz & Dajac, 2021), often suggesting these digital technologies provide the answer to improve safety (Hamil, 2019). ImTs can offer an interactive, virtual, risk-free environment which can be the ideal solution for safety purposes, such as training and communicating safety risks (ElGewely & Nadim, 2020;Olugboyega & Windapo, 2019). However, whilst research into the potential gains of using ImTs within safety training is well developed (Muhammad et al, 2020;Sacks et al, 2013), data collected from practical, industry-based safety applications are limited (Swallow & Zulu, 2020a).…”

Purpose The benefits of integrating immersive technologies (ImTs) within a construction safety context are acknowledged within the literature; however, its practical application on construction sites remains low. Whilst research into the integration of ImTs within the construction industry is underway, most have viewed this from a broader adoption context or within educational settings, and not specifically from a practical on-site safety perspective. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to address the contributing factors to its integration within on-site safety processes, using the experiences of active construction professionals. Design/methodology/approach This study adopts a qualitative approach. Data was collected through online focus groups involving UK based construction professionals with experience in using ImTs, recruited using selective sampling. Data sets were subsequently analysed using inductive thematic analysis and are presented within key themes. Findings The results showed that among the experienced construction professionals, the use of ImTs specifically for on-site safety applications (including inductions/training/workshops) was rare on projects. The findings identified various contributing factors related to the integration of ImTs, including the potential improvements in on-site safety practices such as enhanced communication of hazards, safety planning, engagement during training and more accurate risk assessment. Critical challenges, concerns and frustrations included a lack of engagement from senior level management, inadequate leadership, limited investment, a need for digital expertise, fear of complacency and the acceptance of ImTs within existing safety processes from the wider project team. Originality/value This study provides a fresh perspective to this field by using practical accounts from active and experienced on-site construction professionals. This study supports the integration of ImTs within the construction industry, presenting key contributing factors influencing its integration within on-site safety processes. These factors can be considered by industry adopters, and includes the rationale, challenges and potential on-site benefits of ImTs.
