Section outline

    • Depending on the length of the class, there may be scope for and use in providing a couple of further practical sessions in which virtual rooms are designed with students. 

      A final session could take place virtually if possible where everyone meets in the individual Hubs rooms to visit them and take a tour / take part in an event organized by the individual groups. Ideally the virtual rooms will address at least one of the topics discussed in class, so that the visits could also represent a closing discussion of the class more broadly.

      The session could also involve a final discussion including an outlook of the future of the metaverse. This could involve current material reflecting on the state of the metaverse; some of the virtual rooms could also speculate on the future of the metaverse. 

      In 2023 one of the articles to discuss the futures of the metaverse could have been:

      Zitron E (n.d.) RIP Metaverse, we hardly knew ye. Available at: https://www.businessinsider.com/metaverse-dead-obituary-facebook-mark-zuckerberg-tech-fad-ai-chatgpt-2023-5 (accessed 9 May 2023).
       
      A closing session could also be used to gather feedback on the class and to discuss exams if they are offered.
