Today’s Students Are the Alpha Generation: How to Adapt the Educational Process to Them

As we step into the dynamic landscape of education, the integration of cutting-edge technologies is revolutionizing the way we teach and learn. In recent years, the global education system has faced at least two major shocks: the digitalization of education due to the pandemic in 2020 and the widespread use of artificial intelligence (such as ChatGPT) in 2023. The rapid digitization was a forced necessity, and the widespread adoption of AI was inevitable due to its accessibility and cost-effectiveness. Other technologies, like robotics, virtual reality, and the metaverse, are also making their way into the educational process, albeit more gradually but inevitably. In this article, we provide an overview of popular technologies in education.

The term "metaverse" is currently ubiquitous, often associated primarily with gaming and entertainment. However, its application extends far beyond, including education.

Students at Yushi International High School will participate in classes remotely, utilizing personalized 3D avatars within the metaverse. This initiative is a collaborative effort with AOMINEXT, a prominent Japanese VR and metaverse developer.
