1,200 Students From 43 Courses Participated in Kwangwoon University Metaverse Lecture Platform

Kwangwoon University (President Yoo Ji-sang) announced on the 5th that it will expand classes using the "Metaverse Lecture Platform" from the middle of this month.

The Metaverse Lecture Platform will be introduced to 43 courses in the second semester. About 1,200 students from various majors of Kwangwoon University will participate. The project was carried out as part of a university innovation project.

The Metaverse Lecture Platform provides students who are familiar with digital platforms and social media with a real learning environment where professors and students gather in the same virtual space. Although it is a non-face-to-face class, it can be expected to have an educational effect as if it is a traditional classroom class.

There are 43 classes using the metaverse lecture platform at Kwangwoon University this semester, including Construction Management Introduction (Professor Lee Seul-ki), American Politics (Professor Yoon Yi-sook), Hip-hop Production (Professor Kim Chul-soo), and Immersive Media (Professor Hwang Dong-wook). The students will participate in virtual campuses as avatars and attend lectures. KWU has decided to use the "MOIM" developed by Grid, a domestic metaverse platform company.

Kwangwoon University's Education Innovation Institute will provide various support to professors and students who are new to the Metaverse to conduct orientation and education and operate classes smoothly.
