Metaverse Mission 
Prof. Marc Santugini is an Economics professor at the University of Virginia. He’s a pioneer in an emerging space where teachers are exploring ways to utilize the virtual world of the metaverse in their academic pursuits.
Since June 2020, Prof. Santugini has been teaching econ in VR. Spring ‘22 was his 3rd semester of teaching small econ classes in virtual reality. “Over the last three semesters we have learned what works and what doesn’t for ‘learning in the metaverse.’”
Join us as we interview Prof. Santugini in the virtual world and learn from his insights into how the metaverse is changing the way we teach and learn. You’ll also have a front row seat to a demonstration of how he uses VR technology in the classroom to teach complex economics topics through 3D visualization. It’s truly fascinating and provides a lot of food for thought for any teacher who wants to stay up to date on innovative pedagogies.
