Abstract: 
Advances in immersive reality and artificial intelligence (AI) have opened new opportunities to transform online education. This article explores the integration of intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) and immersive technologies, particularly virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), in learning environments. The theoretical framework draws on concepts such as constructivism, cognitive load management, and collaborative learning to analyze the interactions between these technologies and their impacts on engagement and the personalization of educational pathways. A conceptual methodology based on Design-Based Research (DBR) is proposed, accompanied by a hypothetical scenario illustrating the use of VR and ITS in professional training. The article highlights the benefits, including improved practical skills and knowledge retention, while addressing challenges such as costs, technical complexity, and ethical issues. Finally, perspectives for future research and recommendations for equitable and sustainable adoption are discussed.
