Abstract

This paper describes design, implementation and initial evaluation of Digital Twin Metaverse Classroom for higher education. Digital Twin Metaverse Classroom refers to highly realistic digital replicas or virtual replicas or prototypes of university classrooms or learning spaces. This paper focuses on creating high-fidelity digital replica of typical university lecture room. The main purpose of the Digital Twin Metaverse Classroom is to support teaching and learning in addition to traditional videoconferencing. The pilot involved thirty-two undergraduate students. A single-group pre-test/post-test quiz measured short-term learning, while the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) measured acceptance through perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude toward use, and behavioral intention. A single session raised the mean quiz score from 6.41 to 9.19, a within-session gain that reached statistical significance, while all four TAM constructs scored highly. Because the sample was small and confined to one institution, with neither a control group nor a follow-up, these findings are best read as early evidence of feasibility, short-term improvement, and favorable acceptance rather than as proof of comparative effectiveness.
