Abstract/Summary

This chapter examines the integration of AI-enabled interactive technologies into higher education, focusing on their potential to develop practical skills required for contemporary work environments. Drawing upon qualitative methods and illustrative examples from immersive virtual reality, conversational AI systems, and digital human avatars, the chapter explores how these tools support simulation-based learning, iterative practice, and personalised feedback. While the findings offer valuable insights into design considerations, pedagogical frame-works, and implementation strategies, they are not intended to be generalised due to the study’s methodological approach, sample size, and the specific institutional context in which the data were collected. Limitations of the study are primarily contextual and include the absence of longitudinal data, which restricts the ability to assess long-term impacts. Nonetheless, the chapter contributes to ongoing debates on the evolving role of universities in preparing graduates for the work-place and provides evidence-informed guidance for educators seeking to adopt these technologies in a sustainable and scalable manner.
