“…These concepts find digital twins useful in enhancing learning processes and outcomes. For example, the benefits that e-learning derives from digital twins include personalized learning, collaborative learning, improved assessments, better virtual reality experiences, and enhanced accessibility (Hawkinson, 2022). The digitization of education also forces institutions to handle huge volumes of data.…”

Despite existing for two decades, digital twin technologies have failed to catch up with similar emerging technologies. The education sector is one area that could use the functionalities provided by digital twins. Defined as virtual replicas of physical reality, digital twins mirror the real objects they represent, including components, infrastructure, architecture, and functionality. Therefore, one should expect a virtual lab to look like a physical one. Educational institutions fast-tracked the digital transformation during the COVID-19 pandemic, as all industries and sectors did. As such, online and distance learning received much hype from stakeholders. However, many institutions failed to utilize digital twins in designing the new digital educational systems. However, similar technologies featured prominently, including virtual reality and artificial intelligence. As outlined in this research, digital twin technologies could encompass all technologies used to design and deploy distance, virtual, or online learning. Current applications illustrate that many institutions focus on developing a digital platform for learners and, in some cases, educators. The full potential of digital twins is yet to be fully realized, meaning that digital twins could develop further to help the education sector reach the necessary evolutionary milestones.

“…It is common for definitions to start with a reference to the way the DT is represented. This has been expressed as a set of virtual information constructs (Grieves & Vickers, 2017), a software analogue (Martynov, 2022), a model of an object (Miller & Spatz, 2022;Wright & Davidson, 2020;Zhou & Wu, 2022), a digital/virtual representation (Hawkinson, 2022), or a digital replica (Agrawal et al, 2023). We have used the term "digital representation" in our definition to incorporate the idea that there is a digital/virtual model that replicates the object or process being twinned.…”

The concept of the Digital Twin (DT), a digital replica of a physical object or process, is relatively new to the higher education context. The increase in the application of DT technology across many industries has prompted the call for greater exploration of the possibilities for DTs in education along with a consideration of the challenges to their implementation. There are also questions being raised about the opportunity to develop DTs of learners to extend the use of data to inform learning and teaching, which has been boosted by the recent rise of learning analytics and educational data mining. In this paper we will explore what DT technology is and offer a new definition of DTs that can be used in the educational context. Current uses and the potential future applications will be explored, as well as consideration of what is necessary to build DTs of learners (and educators). The use of DT technology also poses many challenges due to the complexity of DT design and application, and these will be outlined. The paper concludes with a discussion of future directions and areas where more research is needed to fully explore the potential of DT for higher education.

Musical cultural heritage, as an important component of cultural heritage, possesses significant cultural value and inheritance significance. With the development of society and the passage of time, these precious traditional musical cultural heritages inevitably face the dilemma of gradual depletion or even disappearance. In the digital age, effectively protecting and inheriting these musical cultural heritages has become an urgent problem to be addressed. Therefore, this paper proposes an application method based on digital twin technology, exploring how to protect and inherit musical cultural heritages through digital twin technology. By leveraging digital twin technology, a virtual museum dedicated to showcasing the richness and historical connotations of music cultures is created, preserving and simulating the soundscapes of historical music eras. Through the integration of audio archives, 3D modeling, and interactive displays, users can immerse themselves in the experience of historical music in the digital space. This paper evaluates the feasibility and cultural preservation value of this digital music history museum through the creation of music digital twin technology instances and user survey feedback and discusses the prospects of digital twins in the field of musical cultural heritage.
