Since the publication of the 2020 paper, "Finding the Gaps About Uses of Immersive Learning Environments: A Survey of Surveys," the landscape of immersive learning environments (ILEs) has continued to evolve rapidly. This update aims to revisit the gaps identified in that previous research and explore emerging trends. We conducted an extensive review of new surveys published after that paper’s cut date. Our findings reveal a significant amount of new published reviews (n=64), more than doubling the original corpus (n=47). The results highlighted novel themes of usage of immersive environments, helping bridge some 2020 research gaps. This paper discusses those developments and presents a consolidated perspective on the uses of immersive learning environments.
