Transforming the Learning Experience: Leveraging Metaverse and AI

Traditional methods of teaching technical STEM subjects to Arts students lack engagement and fail to promote deep cognitive understanding. Existing solutions don’t foster active participation. Faced with these challenges, we asked: How can we enhance engagement and learning in technical education? Our project developed an innovative, immersive platform enhanced with Generative AI, allowing educators to customize interactive scenarios aligned with learning objectives. Grounded in inquiry-based personalized learning, game-based learning, and embodied cognition theories, this approach actively engages students, improving understanding and intent to use interactive AI-enhanced metaverse for learning. The methodology has been successfully extended to other disciplines and institutions.
