ArXi:2604.16397v1 Announce Type: cross As online higher education expands, sustaining student engagement remains a critical challenge. This paper approaches immersive learning by investigating how custom GPTs foster immersion (as a state of deep mental involvement) for students and instructors. While large language models (LLMs) offer potential for enhancing feedback, little research has examined instructor-created custom GPTs designed to align with specific pedagogical goals.
