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.
