Meridian Treehouse Publishes Educators Guide to the Metaverse
“An Introduction to Learning in the Metaverse” illustration by Halsey Berryman
You’ve likely seen the word Metaverse in the media and on your social feeds. So what is this “next iteration of the internet” and what does it mean for education and learning?
Meridian Treehouse’s just-published guide, “An Introduction to Learning in the Metaverse” hopes to answer just that.
“I wish I had a document like this when I first started creating and teaching with virtual reality six years ago.”
This huge undertaking was made possible by the amazing research team Daniel Pimentel, Géraldine Fauville, Kai Frazier, Sergio Rosas, Eileen McGivney, and Erika Woolsey, PhD.
This independent work was supported by Meta Immersive Learning through a partnership with Meridian Treehouse and The Hydrous. The research team is committed to quality, transparency, and positive impact for learners and educators. The recommendations and viewpoints in this guide are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the partners, reviewers, or funding organizations.
If you’re in the DC area, we hope that you’ll stop by the FREE Smithsonian Arts & Industries Building to experience it yourself and join us on May 19th, 2022 for an event exploring the future of these immersive technologies for education and storytelling.
