Using the Metaverse in Education: A Practical Guide

Using the Metaverse in Education: A Practical Guide explores the transformative potential of the metaverse in education. This book defines four types of metaverses and examines their pedagogical applications and limitations. The Metaverse Roadmap categorizes these applications into Augmented Reality (AR), Anatomy, Methodologies, and Virtual Reality (VR). We delve into real-world examples, such as AR T-shirts in medical education that allow students to explore the human body and a spinal surgery platform developed by Seoul Hospital using AR technology. The book highlights the potential of the metaverse as a new educational environment, offering immersive experiences and enhanced social communication. However, the book also addresses potential challenges, such as weak social connections, privacy concerns, and the risk of crimes due to anonymity in virtual spaces. We emphasize the importance of carefully analyzing how students understand the metaverse and designing classes that encourage creative problem-solving and collaboration. Using the Metaverse in Education: A Practical Guide is a comprehensive resource for educators looking to harness the metaverse's potential while mitigating its challenges.
