Problem Based Learning in Metaverse

Problem Based Learning (PBL) is a powerful tool for both science and engineering education in the real world. Therefore, Japanese educators/researchers (with assistance from a US educator) carried out a pilot study to determine the effectiveness of using PBL activities in Metaverse. Their project was carried out by student teams from the US and Japan. Each team worked independently on the same PBL project. A discussion about this successful pilot study is provided.
