more effectively than we can in physical locations. This is particularly advantageous while there continues to be a resistance to returning to the classroom. To build your understanding of the
potential benefits (and limitations) of the metaverse, here are five steps that immersive learning experts, Make Real, recommend:
1. Don’t spend money! There are plenty of platforms you can try without spending a penny. It’s a fast- changing environment, making it a risky time to invest in one platform or location. But it’s a great time to try lots of things out!
2. Try as many things as possible There’s a lot happening in the gaming and wellness space that L&D can draw meaningful reference from, so don’t limit yourself to training and productivity apps.
3. Do things differently Don’t just try to replicate your old training models in the metaverse. Think about the new opportunities the metaverse gives you and look for ways to bring these advantages to your biggest learning challenges.
4. Start small Now probably isn’t the time to bring all your highest profile training into the metaverse! But it’s a great time to move an informal team meeting and build from there.
5. Form an opinion Whatever you do, get involved and form an opinion. The metaverse is an emerging space and it needs a diverse range of grassroots voices to shape it into a place we want to inhabit, in the future.
