The metaverse for education.  

What does the metaverse need to support education? 

What does education need to do to use the metaverse?

Education costs could make more efficient use of teacher time by teaching in the metaverse.  That means lower costs and more effective learning.  Are we ready?

• Watch on YouTube
• What features does the metaverse need to get good student engagement?

Student activity in the scene.

• Answer questions.
• Inquiry-based learning
• Digicoach can support collaborative homework and study sessions
• Digicoach can support homework in virtual worlds with JIT learning, immediate feedback
• Treasure hunt
• Why a reading assignment is like a treasure hunt. And why it is not.
• Play a relevant game
• Games in virtual worlds. Summary
• Work with other students on a project.
• Engage in roleplay/

Conclusions

• Current platforms provide all the tech needed.
• Existing content can probably provide most needed scenes.
• But teachers would not be able to find it: need a marketplace
• Second Life Marketplace https://marketplace.secondlife.com/
