Dr. SINGH Manpreet, from the MIT Department of EduHK, recently presented his research paper at the e-Learning Forum Asia 2023 (elfa 2023). The conference, which focused on the intersection of education and technology, was held at the prestigious Singapore University of Social Sciences from November 30 to December 1, 2023.

Dr. Singh's research paper "Enhancing 21st Century Skills through Simulated Platforms in Virtual Classrooms: A Metaverse Approach" captivated the audience and ignited a buzz among participants. His work explores the potential of the metaverse, a virtual reality space, in revolutionizing STEM education and transforming e-learning platforms.

In his presentation, Dr. Singh highlighted the limitations of 19th-century traditional classrooms while emphasizing the need for immersive and interactive experiences to enhance student engagement and knowledge retention. He introduced the metaverse approach as a powerful tool for creating virtual environments that simulate real-world scenarios, enabling students to explore scientific concepts through the Gamified Learning approach and collaborate with peers dynamically and intuitively. The potential of the metaverse to bridge the gap between theory and practice in STEM education was genuinely awe-inspiring.

Dr. Singh's contribution exemplifies the pioneering spirit and commitment to innovation that MIT and EduHK are renowned for. His research opens new avenues for integrating emerging technologies in education, providing educators and students with a transformative and immersive learning experience.
