Learning and the Metaverse Is a practical guide for all L&D professionals which explains what the metaverse is, debunks the myths, demystifies the jargon and shows how it can be used to improve employee training and learning activities. Written by a learning technology expert with more than 35 years' experience, this is the only book you'll need to understand the metaverse and what it means for you as a learning professional.
It analyses the evidence for effective learning in the metaverse and explains what works, what doesn't and how to measure the ROI of this learning activity. There is also guidance on designing training that can be used in the metaverse and why it's important to consider the neuroscience of how people learn when doing this. There is also discussion of the metaverse and broader education as well as coverage of virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), immersive technology and learning simulations. With a glossary and list of acronyms to clarify all key terms, this practical guide contains everything L&D practitioners need to know about learning and the metaverse.
Industry Reviews
"Excitement about the metaverse died down towards the start of 2023, its oxygen stolen by the arrival of Generative Pre-trained Transformers (GPTs) - astonishingly capable AI models. But the metaverse will be back: the tech giants (especially Apple and Meta) are still spending vast sums on its development. It is best understood as the internet in 3D, the application of extended reality, including virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR). These technologies are going to be enormously influential in every aspect of life, and perhaps most of all in education. There is no better guide to this exciting new world than Donald Clark, who has been at the cutting edge of education technology for over 35 years. Not only does he talk and write with deep expertise, but also engagingly and entertainingly. What fun!" * Calum Chace, Author, Surviving AI, Global keynote speaker *
"Donald Clark gives a great overview of learning and the metaverse, easing us in with an exploration of the term before deeply immersing the reader into a myriad of benefits. Part three is particularly insightful, as he shows his specialism in learning technologies. I left with a much better understanding of the topic, and recommend the second half to experienced professionals in L&D." * Tom Ffiske, Editor, Immersive Wire *
