Abstract
The Metaverse is considered the third wave of the Internet revolution, able to support persistent interconnected online 3D virtual environments (3DVE), and promising to bring new levels of social connection and collaboration. How to effectively design and use Metaverse in teaching and learning remains crucial for the development of effective learning experiences. In addition, there are critical ethical and governance issues related to the Metaverse and XR (Extended-Reality) technologies, including security, privacy, equity, accessibility and intellectual property.In this presentation, Dr. Wang will first showcase exemplary Metaverse technologies and learning platform, then continue discussing associated research topics and directions. As the EiC for TLT, she may also discuss how to write and publish in the Journal’s special issue on Metaverse and the Future of Education.
