Viewpoint: The ‘metaversity’ is here — and you shouldn’t ignore it

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:51:31 GMT

Later this school year, a group of students at University of Maryland Global Campus will enter a crime scene as part of a course in criminal justice. They will be briefed beforehand by a criminal justice expert and use a “crime scene kit” to investigate evidence. In their personalized scene, they will look for bloodstains, encounter and examine a dead body, and scrutinize the scene for other clues.Welcome to the “metaversity,” the place where the metaverse and higher education intersect. Neither student nor professor will leave their home to visit the crime scene. The crime scene does not exist physically. For UMGC, founded 75 years ago specifically to meet the needs of adult learners for whom a traditional campus experience was impractical or impossible, this course is the next frontier in education. While sleuthing through the crime scene, the students will create a “spatial recording” — an interactive 3D video — that captures everything they do and say during the…Read the full st...
