Abstract

Through an education-centric metaverse learning application, this research aims to assess the use of narrative richness to deliver media, language, and sustainability literacy education. The 21st-century learning needs require teaching and learning resources to be shared and managed more effectively across institutions. The use of metaverse features can help to manage varying narrative richness to boost learning reflection and attitude. Despite its potential, it is unclear how narrative richness in the metaverse can enhance teaching and learning. The study proposed in this research, which includes institutions from four Asian countries, is driven by this knowledge and evidence gap. Module leaders conceptualize and evaluate a purpose-built metaverse-learning application to produce rich and realistic learning experiences. We utilize narratives to enhance the realism of learning experiences and will assess the effects of narrative richness on learning reflection and attitude.
