A Study on the Effectiveness and Utility of Metaverse-Based Remote Education Using the Ditoland Platform During COVID-19

This paper examines the educational effectiveness and utility of remote experiential education based on the Ditoland Metaverse platform. This study evaluates how the Metaverse-based remote education process during the COVID-19 period affects students' understanding, communication, and collaboration. Pre- and post-surveys are conducted to determine satisfaction with the Metaverse remote learning experience. Overall, the post-survey responses were more positive than the pre-survey responses. Participants reported improvements in content understanding, communication with teachers and peers, engagement, satisfaction, and overall positivity. However, some participants reported challenges in peer collaboration, as well as issues related to device limitations and network instability. Survey results showed notable improvements as understanding increased from 64% to 86%, teacher-peer interaction improved by 22%, and interest and enjoyment rose by 25%. The findings suggest that experiential remote education based on the Metaverse platform during the COVID-19 period enhances understanding and engagement in education.
