What is the metaverse? Will it really happen? How will it affect learning and development (L&D)? Where do I start?
Learning and the Metaverse explains where the Metaverse came from, what it is, where it is going, debunks the myths and demystifies the jargon. It shows how it can be used to improve training and learning activities. Written by a learning technology expert with more than 35 years' experience, this book explains what this shift from 2D to 3D learning involves and what it means for you as a learning professional.
It analyses the evidence for effective learning in 3D and explains what works and what doesn't. There is also guidance on designing training that can be used in the Metaverse and why it's important to consider how people learn when doing this. This book includes discussion of the Metaverse and broader education as well as coverage of virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), immersive technology and learning simulations. This guide contains everything learning professionals need to know about learning and the Metaverse.
