Abstract As a teaching and learning medium, 360° videos offer new teaching-learning experiences. Through the possibility of immersion, individual 360° panoramic images, multi-perspective viewing options and interaction possibilities, they extend the advantages of conventional video technology. To understand the potential of using 360° video technology for educational processes, a systematic literature review analyzed previous scientific articles ( N = 44) about the interdisciplinary use of 360° videos according to PRISMA guidelines. In the systematic literature selection, particular emphasis was placed on the conceptual distinction between virtual reality and 360° videos. By the authors, 360° videos are understood as a specific video format that has characteristics of virtual reality but is to be distinguished from virtual reality by the necessary real recording situation without programmed virtual environments. The results show a use of 360° videos mainly for three teaching-learning purposes: presentation and observation of teaching–learning content, immersive and interactive theory–practice mediation, and external and self-reflection. Combined with the added value of conventional video technology and other immersive technology such as virtual reality, five added value categories for its use as a teaching–learning medium were identified: To increase learning motivation and interest, to learn in authentic and realistic learning scenarios, for immersive and interactive learning experiences, for multi-perspective observation opportunities and for individual learning. These consisted primarily of positive motivational effects for authentic or immersive learning experiences.
