Virtual World as a Complement to Hybrid and Mobile Learning

Abstract

Virtual worlds in higher education have opened new possibilities for innovation in the teaching-learning process. In this sense, the description of the integration of this emerging technology with hybrid and mobile learning models is presented, which seeks to streamline and make flexible the access to information to the student and teacher inside and outside the classroom, intending that pedagogical didactics were more inclusive and participatory. With this in mind, a virtual world was developed as a digital tool for teaching support to students and teachers of the Faculty of Systems Engineering of the University of Cundinamarca, with a view to establishing its viability to be implemented and to demonstrate its potential as an academic resource that motivates students in their training and the teacher to develop new digital skills and competences.

Metaverse and Manufacturing: The Impact of Metaverse on the Manufacture

“…Y. Zhao vd., 2022 Fiziksel dünya ile sanal dünyanın birbirine yakınlaşmasını sağlayacak (Rillig vd., 2022), geleceğin dünyasını yeniden şekillendirecek olan kavram, geniş bir kapsama sahip olmakla birlikte, henüz gelişmekte ve farklı şekillerde yorumlanabilmektedir (Demir & Tokgöz, 2022;Díaz, 2020;Far & Rad, 2022;Hemmati, 2022;Kang, 2021;Kiong, 2022;Ning vd., 2021;Park & Kim, 2022;Smart vd., 2007;Sriram, 2022;Yang vd., 2022). Ball (2020) Metaverse'ün, sanal dünya, sanal uzay, sanal gerçeklik, dijital ve sanal ekonomi, oyun, sanal tema parkı, yeni uygulama mağazası, kullanıcıların oluşturduğu içerik platformu olarak görülmemesi gerektiğini belirtmiştir.…”

“…Metaverse ile fiziksel dünya arasındaki bağlantı internet aracılığıyla sağlanmaktadır. İnternet hızının yavaş olduğu yerlerde Metaverse'te gerçekleştirilecek faaliyetlerde sıkıntılar meydana gelecektir (Díaz, 2020). Gerçek zamanlı takibin gerektiği, uzaktan yönetilen operasyonlarda, robotların kullanılması durumunda internet bağlantısındaki problemler zaman, maliyet, iş güvenliği problemlerine sebep olabilecektir.…”

Virtual Laboratory and Mobile Devices as a Support Tool for the Teaching-Learning Processes of Physics in Pandemic Times

“…Virtual labs have advantages and disadvantages compared to traditional laboratories [3]. These assessments are evaluated from the student's point of view [4] [5] and the teacher's point of view. Some advantages of virtual labs are listed below:…”

An Innovative Method for Digital Media Education Based on Mobile Internet Technology

“…The widespread application of the mobile Internet technology in the field of education brings a new opportunity for the innovation of education and teaching models.
