Abstract

Today, online educational platforms are recognized as a vital tool to transfer knowledge and skills in an effective and attractive way. Creating an educational platform in Metaverse is a strategic opportunity to provide educational services to a global and wide community. This educational platform in Metaverse is supposed to provide a multidimensional and interactive space that allows people to access various training courses using virtual reality technology and augmented reality plugins. This platform will be suitable for everyone, from children to adults and from beginners to advanced. Creating an educational platform in Metaverse enables knowledge and skills to be actively transferred to people using new technologies, and in this way, an important step towards the future of education is taken. In order to provide a coherent and comprehensive analysis of metaverse literature in the field of education, this article deals with a deep and organized review of the role of metaverse in this field. By focusing on current and future technologies, along with an analysis of challenges and opportunities, this paper attempts to provide a comprehensive and inclusive perspective. The purpose of this research is to provide a detailed and extensive study of the role and effects of Metaverse in the field of education, so that through the examination and analysis of future perspectives, it will be directed towards the progress and development of educational platforms.

Abstract [Persian]

امروزه پلتفرم های آموزشی آنلاین به عنوان ابزاری حیاتی برای انتقال دانش و مهارت به شیوه ای موثر و جذاب شناخته شده اند. ایجاد بستر آموزشی در متاورس یک فرصت استراتژیک برای ارائه خدمات آموزشی به جامعه جهانی و گسترده است. این پلتفرم آموزشی در متاورس قرار است فضایی چند بعدی و تعاملی را فراهم کند که به افراد امکان دسترسی به دوره های آموزشی مختلف با استفاده از فناوری واقعیت مجازی و افزونه های واقعیت افزوده را می دهد. این پلتفرم برای همه از کودکان تا بزرگسالان و از مبتدی تا پیشرفته مناسب خواهد بود. ایجاد بستر آموزشی در متاورس باعث می شود تا دانش و مهارت به صورت فعال به افراد با استفاده از فناوری های جدید منتقل شود و از این طریق گام مهمی در جهت آینده آموزش برداشته شود. این مقاله به منظور ارائه تحلیلی منسجم و جامع از ادبیات فرا وجهی در حوزه آموزش، به بررسی عمیق و سازماندهی شده نقش متاورس در این زمینه می پردازد. این مقاله سعی دارد با تمرکز بر فناوری‌های فعلی و آینده، همراه با تحلیل چالش‌ها و فرصت‌ها، دیدگاهی جامع و فراگیر ارائه دهد. هدف از این تحقیق بررسی دقیق و گسترده نقش و تأثیرات متاورس در حوزه آموزش است تا با بررسی و تحلیل چشم اندازهای آینده، به سمت پیشرفت و توسعه بسترهای آموزشی سوق داده شود.
