Abstract
This chapter highlights the importance of XR and Metaverse in the educational sector. The theoretical background and real-life cases in the educational sector indicate that XR and metaverse can give students an experience closest to experiential learning without leaving the classroom. It also reveals that both metaverse and XR deliver an immersive experience that can create meaningful situations relevant to learners and their lives.
