“…In terms of the Metaverse's technical features (benefits), participants emphasize the benefits of Metaverse technology as a resource for strengthening degrees of realism, immersions, involvement, and didactic usefulness. The evidence supports this finding in multiple articles that describe the benefits of utilizing Metaverse, both for students' learning results and in specific dimensions of their affectivity related to their academic success (Hwang et al, 2023;Marzouk et al, 2019;Fahmi et al, 2014). Other research shows that the didactic effectiveness of Metaverse is related to the virtual nativeness of youngsters nowadays (Akçayır et al, 2016).…”

“…The study from Xiaoyang and Xiaoqing shows that Edu-Metaverse can enhance student learning outcomes by accelerating learning and skill acquisition (Shu and Gu, 2023). The Metaverse enables students to acquire knowledge across various subject domains from any location, bringing the concept of studying for practical application to fruition (Hwang et al, 2023).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic prompted a shift to online learning like SUT-Elearning, Zoom, and Google Classroom. However, these platforms have limitations in replicating classroom dynamics and fostering interaction. Students have low motivation for studying and class participation. The concept of a metaverse classroom is introduced, aiming to enhance engagement by exploring the Metaverse's origins, features, and educational benefits. This study delves into integrating metaverse technology into online education, using Suranaree University of Technology's product design and development course as a model. This course merges project-based and problem-based learning. The investigation outlines the gradual creation of a virtual classroom aligned with these traditional approaches, detailing its functions, components, and limitations. The classroom design is evaluated through student feedback gathered from interviews and surveys. Students assess the design's advantages and disadvantages and compare between the Metaverse, physical classes, Zoom, and video-based learning. Results drawn from feedback from 20 students highlight a preference for physical learning, closely followed by the Metaverse, which excels in engagement over Zoom and video. The Metaverse also excels in real-time interactions, with minor differences in self-directed learning. The study emphasizes the potential of integrating the Metaverse as a catalyst to improve online education and immersive learning. It highlights the ability of metaverse integration to increase real-time engagement and support innovative instructional methods. These methods are vital in effective online education, particularly in the ever-evolving educational landscape.

The debate on online and traditional classroom methods has gained traction in the rapidly changing world of education. This is especially true when discussing elements that are critical to the learning process, such as student motivation and self-confidence. Our research examined these components in great detail in the context of a speaking course to learn German as a foreign language. Thirty-three students made up the sample. They were divided into two groups: one that took part in traditional classroom discussions (which served as the control group) and another that experimented with discussions in the Gather.town online community. The first of our study's two goals was to determine whether the students' self-efficacy and intrinsic motivation had changed significantly after six weeks of discussion. Secondly, we were interested in determining which medium-face-to-face or online-had a stronger influence on fostering these essential educational traits. We used surveys that were distributed at the start and end of the six-week study window to gather our findings. The findings of our study were compelling. Compared to their peers in the traditional classroom environment, students who used Gather.town as their discussion platform displayed a more pronounced increase in both motivation and self-efficacy. This highlights the burgeoning potential of online learning environments like Gather.town in the modern educational landscape and suggests the benefits of incorporating such cutting-edge tools to increase student motivation and confidence.
