Metaverse-Based Higher Education

Abstract

The advent of technology backed by digitalization is bringing innovative and new ways in imparting higher education. The high speed of the internet readily available in the higher education institutions is further supporting such activities. Especially post-COVID-19, parents who used to keep an eye on children towards usage of smartphones began to provide such devices themselves to children for educational purposes. The AI-supported technology facilitated the process by creating artificial environment to understand the real-world. It provides a shield to adversities of the real situations. With the further advancement in the emerging field of metaverse, learners can view themselves as one of the participants on screen in the form of an avatar. Since the students are not aware of the challenges and limitations of such emerging areas, the responsibility of educationists is on the rise. The researchers have tried to review the scope of higher education resting on metaverse as one of the major aspects in the near future.
