With schools being shut due to the pandemic, students from all age groups had to shift to an online or hybrid learning mode. This has allowed schools and other learning centers to adopt unique systems to improve the quality of learning. As a result, to take the experience of virtual education to the next level, Metaverse has been quite successful in incorporating technologies that would help us provide more advanced and creative solutions.
Metaverse is an innovation that has recently developed and helped civilization achieve a more efficient and ambitious lifestyle. The education sector has also been no exception. There are various unique systems that are being adopted recently, such as video conferencing software. Very different from the usual understanding of video conferencing, Metaverse will allow the students and the teaching staff to be present in a virtual space, which would be referred to as the classroom, but in reality, they will be able to join the classes from their respective homes.
Numerous schools and universities are considering online worlds such as ‘Second Life’ and block-building games like Minecraft as a medium for virtual learning with the onset of the pandemic. Online lectures would offer the same advantages. However, the catch is that these virtual reality simulations would enable the students to practice medical, architectural, or any other relevant skills that may be difficult to train in real life. This will help both the students and the teaching staff to indulge in a more cyber-physical experience where the virtual world will seamlessly intertwine with the real world.
All of these systems are typically in the experimental stage right now, and this whole system needs to be formulated in a real way for its speedy implementation. This is usually what the situation with Metaverse is in all other sectors. With proper application, this system genuinely has the potential to provide advanced learning programs and strong academic settings in schools and universities. We shall be prepared to be a part of the future of learning, which is capable of a concrete transformation of the education regime.
