“…Pedagogical methodologies involving cooperative and active teaching were a driver for professional development within the LES research team's experience [55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62]. Scientific experimental workshops were selected as the most suitable approach to provide a visual representation of scientific principles.…”

The LES Project (LES-Llavor Energètica i Salut. Del cole a casa i a la societat, in English: Energy and Health Seed. From school to home and society) is seen as an opportunity to increase the visibility of the role of science and women scientists in their actual contexts and to present architectural research as essential in mitigating climate change and improving people’s health. The goal of this research was to reach the greatest range of people possible through intergenerational transfer. However, the main receptors and drivers were students aged between 8 and 10 years old who were responsible for transmitting energy and environmental conditioning concepts and their interrelations with strategic performance in buildings. Awareness was raised through scientific workshops implemented in primary schools that had energy and air quality deficiencies and opportunities, and the concepts were extrapolated to housing. Two schools in different socioeconomic districts (vulnerable and middle-income families) were selected as a strategy to provide details about the perceptions of energy benefits in both schools’ families. The results of the experience were highly satisfactory. Children from 8 to 10 years old were interested and ready to understand and transfer key concepts about energy efficiency and health improvement through the transformation of the buildings surrounding them. The dissemination of the project and social awareness reached the primary students of the two schools selected for the project and the entire educational community (students, teachers, families and all of society). Currently, we are working on a second stage that will allow for a broad volume of replicability of the workshops, with schoolteachers taking the lead in these actions. For this purpose, LES has the support of the Department of Education of the Generalitat de Catalunya.

The teaching of civil engineering consists of different didactic approaches, such as lectures, group work or research-based teaching, depending on the respective courses. Currently, the metaverse is gaining importance in teaching and offers the possibility of a new teaching approach for civil engineering and especially for the teaching of courses from the areas of “Digital Design and Construction”. Although the advantages of teaching in the metaverse, such as location and time independence or a higher learning outcome, are mentioned in the literature, there are also challenges that must be considered when teaching in the metaverse. Against this background, this paper examines the implications of using the metaverse as a teaching tool in teaching “Digital Design and Construction”. The impact of teaching BIM in the metaverse is evaluated by (1) a literature review and workshops to evaluate use cases and demands for extended reality (XR) and the metaverse, (2) integrating XR and the metaverse in the courses and valuation by quantitative evaluations and (3) analyzing student papers of the courses and outcomes of a World Café. Due to these steps, this paper presents a novel approach by reflecting the students’ perspective. Furthermore, this paper presents a validated approach for integrating BIM and the metaverse in teaching.

“…In the Metaverse, augmented reality, mirror worlds, virtual worlds, and lifelogging create a new paradigm. However, we can detect metaverse expectations and develop designs in digital activities based on these technologies: TikTok's augmented reality filters, Google Arts & Culture's mirror worlds, Twitch's live logging, and Minecraft's virtual worlds are mixed reality successes (Onecha et al, 2023;Samarnggoon et al, 2023).…”

Metaverse has established itself as the newest advancement in the current web world. The notion has garnered significant interest across multiple industries, the community, and particularly within academic institutions. It is the future gateway for any human-computer engagement. It intends to create an immersive digital space where users interact in real time with the virtual world and similar participants. The metaverse is a dynamic concept that is continuously evolving rather than being a phenomenon that can be easily examined. Therefore, the present study applied the sentiment analysis method to generate a new understanding regarding the notion of the metaverse. The study aims to determine the nature of Indian digital media content and whether it promotes or disapproves of the concept of the metaverse. Using the web scraping code, we generate a customized dataset, an excel file comprising 614 websites. The study aims to develop a systematic and standardized method for generating novel insights about the metaverse by analyzing current resources. The present analysis encompasses a broader range of online media, including news, blogs, and articles on the metaverse, in comparison to scholarly publications. The outcome demonstrates that the metaverse has a positive trajectory in mainstream media and will be a future technology for media, entertainment, and other internet-based industries.
