“…Furthermore, the benefits of 3D graphics for education have been explored in the manufacturing industries, urban planning, entertainment, and military operations (Monahan.et.al. 2008;Lin et al;Montoya et al, 2011;Ryan et.al.2004;Manseur, 2005). The core point here is that the use of VR and 3D graphics for e-learning has now been extended by the provision of entire VR environments where learning takes place.…”

“…It should also be noted that the presentation of learning content to users in an integrative, interesting, and inspiring manner have great value-added benefits. Text-based learning content often leads to boredom and can prevent students from gaining a clear understanding of the subject matter (Montoya et al, 2011;Lin et al, 2010;Zhang et al, 2004). The presentation of course content through multimedia techniques can be quite engaging to students in their learning activities.…”

“…Research shows that a variety of tools and technologies have been developed and used for supporting e-learning communities (Lin et al 2010;Sung et al, 2009;Hamalamen, 2011;Bouras et.al., 2008). Three components and systems have been identified: the documentfocused web-based training tools; the meeting -focused tool (such as video-conferencing tools, Centra symposium…etc.)…”

“…In this chapter, e-learning is viewed as an educational paradigm referring to the utilization of web-based technologies to deliver learning activities with the aim of enhancing knowledge and performance. However, current e-learning efforts continue to put heavy emphasis on content delivery and technology (Lin et al 2010;Chatti et al 2007). This requires changes of orientation and focus from "content-driven" to "innovative knowledgedriven"; and from "technology-driven" to "learner-driven" e-learning models.…”

“…While joining this debate is beyond the scope of this chapter, this author believes that the similarities far outweigh the differences. These similarities have been well articulated by Kreijns et al, 2003, andLin et al, 2010 which include:  Learning is active  The teacher is usually more a facilitator than a "sage on the stage"  Teaching and learning are shared experiences  Students participate in small group activities  Students must take responsibility for learning  Students are stimulated to reflect on their own assumptions, and thought processes  Social and team skills are developed through the give-and-take of consensus building…”

Background Traditional medical education often lacks contextual experience, hindering students’ ability to effectively apply theoretical knowledge in real-world scenarios. The integration of the metaverse into medical education holds great enormous promise for addressing educational disparities, particularly in lower-middle-income countries (LMICs) accompanied by rapid technological advancements. This commentary paper aimed to address the potential of the metaverse in enhancing basic sciences education within the constraints faced by universities in LMICs. We also addressed learning design challenges by proposing fundamental design elements and a suggested conceptual framework for developing metaverse-based teaching methods.The goal is to assist educators and medical practitioners in comprehensivley understanding key factors in immersive teaching and learning. Discussion By immersing medical students in virtual scenarios mimicking real medical settings and patient interactions, the metaverse enables practice in clinical decision-making, interpersonal skills, and exposure to complex medical situations in a controlled environment. These simulations can be customized to reflect local healthcare challenges, preparing medical students to tackle specific community needs. Various disciplines, including anatomy, physiology, pharmacy, dentistry, and pathology, have begun leveraging the metaverse to offer immersive learning experiences, foster interdisciplinary collaborations, and facilitate authentic assessments. However, financial constraints pose a significant barrier to widespread adoption, particularly in resource-limited settings like LMICs. Addressing these challenges is crucial to realizing the full potential of metaverse technology in medical education. Conclusion The metaverse offers a promising solution for enhancing medical education by providing immersive, context-rich learning experiences. This paper proposes a conceptual framework and fundamental design elements to aid faculty educators and medical practitioners in effectively incorporating metaverse technology into their teaching methods, thus improving educational outcomes in LMICs.
