Annotation
The advent of the Metaverse has transformed the media ecology of online learning, freeing learners from flattened, replicative, and disciplined learning spaces into a high-fidelity simulated virtual reality world characterized by creative freedom. This paradigm shift has redefined traditional human modes of physical operation, communication, and collaboration, while reshaping the inherent modalities of online learning. From the perspective of perception, the Metaverse transcends screen-mediated visual and auditory engagement, enabling integrated five-sense connectivity. In terms of knowledge construction, it liberates individuals from inherent real-world constraints, facilitating the reconstruction of knowledge and fostering exploration of innovative possibilities. With regard to thinking patterns, the fusion of fantasy and reality in virtual environments dismantles the materialistic lens of physical thinking, replacing it with highly personalized virtual thinking that offers cognitive interpretations distinct from real-world dimensions through heterogeneous time-space perspectives. The authenticity of perceptual experiences, breakthroughs in self-cognition, and imaginative learning engagement afforded by the Metaverse demonstrate that Metaverse-based learning possesses innovative and universal educational advantages compared to traditional online learning models.
