Viewpoint: The ‘metaversity’ is here — and you shouldn’t ignore it

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 04:56:24 GMT

Later this school year, a group of students at University of Maryland Global Campus will enter a crime scene as part of a course in criminal justice. They will be briefed beforehand by a criminal justice expert and use a “crime scene kit” to investigate evidence. In their personalized scene, they will look for bloodstains, encounter and examine a dead body, and scrutinize the scene for other clues.Welcome to the “metaversity,” the place where the metaverse and higher education intersect. Neither student nor professor will leave their home to visit the crime scene. The crime scene does not exist physically. For UMGC, founded 75 years ago specifically to meet the needs of adult learners for whom a traditional campus experience was impractical or impossible, this course is the next frontier in education. While sleuthing through the crime scene, the students will create a “spatial recording” — an interactive 3D video — that captures everything they do and say during the…Read the full st...

For Mulholland, this meticulous work is nothing short of scientific.Mulholland and his skilled crew hold college degrees in turf grass management. They analyze elements like ball trajectory, bat impact and player movements to perfect the field. The synthetic turf surface is underlaid with crushed coconut shells and sand, aiming to replicate the characteristics of natural grass.
