AECT Graduate Student Assembly 
​Metaverse Group 

Metaverse Group
What is the Metaverse? Well, we’re working on that. 

The term, Metaverse, was a term first used by Neal Stephenson in his book Snow Crash. Snow Crash is considered by many to be one of the seminal books that created the cyberpunk genre of literature. It has also been credited for inspiring many of today’s virtual worlds, augmented reality and virtual reality apps, and gave us context for how immersive online virtual environments could look like and how our physical and virtual identities could be managed, merged, and manipulated.

For the past two years, GSA has been informally exploring the Metaverse. We’ve created an
exhibition space in the virtual world of Second Life, toured spaces in Virabela [video https://youtu.be/oSc4uZxGb0w] and even took part in a virtual pride parade in World of Warcraft.


​This year (2022) we have created a group for everyone (it’s okay if you are not a grad student) who would like to explore, build and do research in and on the Metaverse.

Every Monday, we’ll posting an article on the Metaverse through the AECT GSA Facebook (
https://www.facebook.com/groups/aectgsa).

We’ll be attending and touring virtual spaces at the Virtual Worlds Best Practices in Education, developing a Metaverse VR/AR/VW track at the eLearning Conference of Colorado and doing tours in VR and virtual world spaces.

For the eLearning Consortium of Colorado 2022, please check out our Metaverse Group recommendations.
