Summary
There are many benefits to taking college classes in the metaverse, such as 3D visual learning, more realistic interactivity and easier access for faraway students.
The metaverse provides a low-cost learning alternative in some settings.
The metaverse can also expose students to inappropriate content.
Metaverse students aren't just recipients of content but active participants in virtual reality games and other activities.
The combination of advanced technologies such as immersive game-based learning and virtual reality with artificial intelligence can create personalized learning experiences that are not in real time but still experienced through the metaverse.
Traditional measures such as multiple choice questions are inappropriate to assess individualized and unstructured learning experiences offered by the metaverse.
To maximize the benefits of the metaverse for teaching and learning, universities - and their students - will have to wrestle with protecting users' privacy, training teachers and the level of national investment in broadband networks.
