Manas Kumar is a science teacher in Dubai who today explains the utility of Metaverse in very simple language that it can also be used to create virtual classrooms where teachers and students can interact in real time.  Furthermore, the metaverse can be used to simulate and model real-world scenarios, which can be used for educational purposes.

The world is increasingly digital and immersive, which means the way we learn needs to evolve too. That's where Manas Kumar comes in. A Dubai-based educationist who has tried to revolutionize the concept and approach to learning, Metaverse.

Virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) are all three terms that are often used interchangeably. However, they each refer to distinct types of immersive experiences. Manas says the metaverse is a term coined by science fiction writer Neal Stephenson in his novel Snow Crash. It refers to a persistent, shared virtual space where users can interact with each other and with computer-generated objects. In the context of education, the metaverse could be used as a platform for online learning that immerses students in a simulated environment where they can learn through exploration and trial-and-error.

He says that Metaverse has a huge contribution in education.  For example, it can be used to create simulations of historical events or scientific phenomena. It can also be used as a platform for collaborative online learning, and Manas has put several of his students to practice during online learning. 

Manas says that the use of metaverse is as important for us teachers as it is for a student because the use of metaverse can help teachers save time and money by eliminating the need to physically travel for field trips or simulations. If we have advantages from the metaverse, but there are some disadvantages as well, in this we are virtually connected with the students, in which case their attention can get distracted.
