Education Meets the Metaverse: Reimagining the Future of Learning 

Education Meets the Metaverse: Reimagining the Future of Learning  | Imagine Online International Education | Scoop.it

The learning industry has come a long way from the PC internet boom that gave rise to eLearning in the late 1990s. The second wave of mobile computing and social media ushered in microlearning through shorter, video-based learning on demand. Industry watchers are now suggesting that the third era of computing is upon us. Flat static pages on the PC and phone will be replaced by a metaverse of digital 3D spaces, where we interact as lifelike avatars. The metaverse is an embodied internet where you’re never alone. Unlike a Zoom call that is scheduled and disappears when you’re done, the metaverse is “always on” and affords social interactions with peers. This transition has profound implications for capability-building and learning.

Metaverse Schooling: The Future of Distance Learning?

Metaverse Schooling: The Future of Distance Learning? | Imagine Online International Education | Scoop.it
In the metaverse, students and educators may be physically situated far from each other, but they will be together, and accountable, within the same virtual space. Distance learning in the metaverse will feel tangible again – and if a lesson involves observing or handling an object, students will be able to do that synchronously, instead of passing it around the classroom. Students in the metaverse will truly be able to learn by doing, making lessons more relatable and memorable. The time and money spent traveling to and from field trips can be greatly reduced. These metaverse experiences will make learning more efficient and engaging, and also more efficient. They’ll open the door to even more group collaboration and deeper exploration of the broader world than the physical classroom can be able to provide.
