Abstract	This study aims to conduct a systematic review that includes studies on the use of immersive technologies in distance education. For this purpose, 132 studies detected by searching Web of Science, Eric, Taylor & Francis and Education Full Text (EBSCO) databases were examined. The studies were analysed using the content analysis method. As a result of the analyses, it was observed that the first study investigating the subject was conducted in 2002, and the number of related studies increased over the years. In addition, these studies were primarily conducted quantitatively, were mainly journal articles, and originated mostly from China and the USA. Moreover, the sample groups of these studies consisted mostly of university students. Therefore, they mainly used academic performance and motivation variables. Furthermore, these studies were conducted primarily in the science and medical education disciplines. When the studies were evaluated in terms of publication journals, it was determined that they were published mostly in "Education Science" and "Computers & Education" journals. They were also included in the proceedings published within the scope of various conferences. When the application platforms in the studies were examined, it was determined that the UNITY and ARTUTOR platforms were mostly used. The findings of the studies revealed that the increase in academic performance and motivation was one of the most reported advantages of such technologies. On the other hand, the problems caused while using these technologies and the internet were the most reported difficulties in the studies. Finally, the review presented suggestions for future studies. (As Provided).
