“…The term 'metaverse' has made a significant impact on various sectors, including education. More industries are expected to be influenced by the metaverse by 2026, as this digital ecosystem is believed to enhance collaboration, improve training processes and contribute to a more positive work environment (Raj et al, 2023). This coincides with the article by Kaddoura and Al Husseiny (2023), which states that the metaverse provides opportunities to develop new instructional approaches that cater to different learning models, including hybrid and mobile learning.…”

Interactive digital applications have made their way into the educational field. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, numerous countries have resorted to various platforms to reinvent teaching methodology in the digital era. One of these platforms is the metaverse, which presents itself as a resourceful way to teach in the future, with potential applications such as digital interaction among peers. It further offers more dynamic and immersive learning, as students can engage in virtual simulations, role-playing activities, and collaborative projects with other students globally. In an era of constant technological advancement, studying the metaverse and its applications in the educational field seems like a valid starting point to enrich the current teaching methodologies and those of the future. It is an acknowledgement of its impact on education, its usage, challenges and advancements, as well as its influence on the future of education. Therefore, this paper’s objective is to gather and analyse the current literature available relating to the application of the metaverse in the field of education. A systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted across the journal databases of IEEE Xplore, Scopus, ProQuest, ScienceDirect and ACM Digital Library. A total of 31 articles were reviewed according to criteria. The results of this SLR determined that, while research shows the significant potential regarding the usage of the metaverse in education, a set of concrete applications has yet to be investigated thoroughly in order to exploit this technology’s immense potential fully in the field of education.

The consortium of “The Future is in Applied Artificial Intelligence” Project designed the first competency-based applied artificial intelligence curriculum at the higher-education institution level. The development was based on advanced system research on existing artificial intelligence-related resources and surveying target groups of teachers, information technology students, and employers, which should enhance the performance of implementing artificial intelligence education. A review of applied artificial intelligence was prepared in the form of keyword clustering. The initial data were collected with the help of surveying by identifying job offers, existing artificial intelligence training courses, scientific projects, and real cases. A synthetic analysis of the textual information from the studies was conducted using the word clouds technique. A tensor-based approach was used for the presentation of the competency-based course. The specific numerical requirements for the course in the form of priorities followed from the solution to decision-making problems using the analytic hierarchy process technique. Based on a comprehensive study of surveys, educational experience, scientific projects, and business requirements, and a meta-analysis of the recent references, we specified the criteria for a training course in the form of a tensor-based representation of competencies in relation to content and educational modules.

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.
