How it all started<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

During the lectures for the course \u201cEconomics and Management of Enterprises and Business Models,\u201d Professor Paola Pisano<\/strong>, lecturer at the University of Turin<\/strong><\/a> and former Minister for Innovation and Digitalisation, dedicated a portion of her module to an innovative educational experiment conducted in the metaverse. This was made possible through the technological support of Meta<\/strong> and Synesthesia<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project was promoted by the degree program in Social Innovation, Communication, and New Technologies<\/strong>, in collaboration with the Department of Culture, Politics, and Society<\/strong>, as well as the Department of Economics and Statistics \u201cCognetti De Martiis.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The results of the project were positive, opening up future possibilities for the use of metaverse-related technologies in university lectures.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

The solution<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The lecture in the metaverse aimed to explore the use of technologies in education. During the experiment, the ICT degree program collaborated directly with Meta<\/strong>, which provided technological support, and Synesthesia<\/strong>, which handled the design of the environment and characters using Spatial<\/strong><\/a>, one of the leading virtual collaboration platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An interesting detail is that the avatars used during the simulation were created with both gendered and \u201cneutral\u201d characteristics, meaning they were not identifiable by gender. Additionally, sociologists and psychologists were involved during the lecture to closely observe the course of the sessions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
