This research aims to investigate the use of the metaverse as a novel educational tool in the field of construction. Specifically, it focuses on replicating and enhancing the educational benefits of traditional construction site visits by creating a collaborative virtual environment within the metaverse. This virtual environment will enable students to engage in immersive, interactive, and educational construction site experiences, overcoming geographical boundaries and logistical constraints. By harnessing the metaverse’s capabilities, this research seeks to provide a transformative learning experience for students in construction-related disciplines, offering them a unique opportunity to explore and understand construction concepts in a virtual yet realistic setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
