Abstract: Within teacher education, there is limited literature on the use of contemporary immersive technologies with preservice teachers. The purpose of this study was to examine preservice teachers’ motivational reactions to self-directed online instructional materials used to study and apply immersive technology, augmented, virtual, and 3D reality, in an undergraduate, educational technology course. Data were collected using the Instructional Materials Motivation Survey (IMMS) (Keller, 2010). Findings suggest that the online instructional materials used to learn and apply immersive technology motivated students to complete their studies on immersive technology. The research design and course context are also discussed in this article.
