Meta-Education: A Case Study in Academic Events in the Metaverse

Abstract

The metaverse, which encompasses virtual universes beyond our reality, promotes interactions that surpass the limitations of conventional online communication technologies, such as the lack of presence and representation. Due to the evolving nature of the metaverse, research related to its application in education is limited, especially regarding the organization of events in this context. Thus, the methodology of this research includes a case study in an academic workshop consisting of tool analysis, virtual environment implementation, and participant evaluation. The results aim to broaden the understanding of the educational potential of the metaverse and stimulate future research in meta-education.
