Abstract:
The metaverse is a virtual space to simulate a more human-touch environment. We have implemented the metaverse for virtual events, expos (with student number N >500), small classes (N>60 & N>35), and large classes (N>200). The metaverse is not a replacement for LMS or other video conferencing tools but functions as a good platform for student-student and student-teacher interaction. To maximize the benefit of using the virtual space, we have integrated the elements of two well-known learning theories, i.e., gamification and constructivism, into a new pedagogy. A framework has been designed to transfer a passive lecture setting into an active blended learning environment in the metaverse.
