What were some of the reasons behind the decision to set up a metaverse campus?

(1) For the Benefit of our Students, Faculty, and Alumni

Enhanced Immersive Learning Experience for our Learners, Faculty, Alumni

As a Graduate School dedicated to the professional development and networking of professionals across Asia, we recognize the vital importance of tapping on the immersive experience of the metaverse to allow our learners, faculty and alumni to learn, connect and network.

Enhanced Accessibility and Affordability for Prospective Learners

Also for the benefit of prospective learners, we aspire to make education accessible and affordable to our learners across Asia. Accessible, because our Metaverse Campus allows us to bring our campus to our learners regardless of where they may be, instead of making it a requirement for them to attend our physical campus in Singapore. This has enabled us to expand our outreach of providing quality learning experiences on an international level, starting from the ASEAN region.

We strongly believe in this two-prong phy-gital approach, which offers best of both world experiences to our learners and alumni. Our merger of physical and digital education creates a fun and engaging experience that feels more engaging and personal; Our learners, trainers, lecturers and alumni have an easily accessible common platform to work, meet, talk, and enjoy activities, events and lessons together, even if they are far apart by geographical location.

By bringing the campus to everyone, we are creating a more inclusive learning environment that enables greater collaboration and interaction among our community.

(2) For The Benefit of our corporate clients & businesses – Metaverse as a service

Immersive, Innovative, and Interactive Platform for Better Engagement in Business World

At Aventis, we recognize the increasing demand for virtual and immersive experiences in the business world. Companies, businesses and our corporate clients are now beginning to seek new and innovative ways to engage with their employees, customers, and partners.

The metaverse provides a unique opportunity to offer these experiences in a way that is accessible, interactive, and memorable. We saw a need for a metaverse campus that could also value-add and provide these experiences as a service to companies and businesses, which became another driving force to set up our Metaverse Campus to provide such experiences to our corporate clients.

What are some of the benefits this Metaverse campus can provide?

With a Metaverse Campus, Aventis can provide a number of unique benefits that are not possible with a traditional physical campus.

Unlock New Markets across ASEAN Region:

Firstly, we are able to provide affordable and quality education by breaking down geographical barriers and reaching anyone with an internet connection. This enables us to provide education to under-served markets, particularly in the ASEAN region.

Fun, Engaging and Personalized Learning Environment:

Additionally, our virtual campus can offer enhanced engagement and personalized learning experiences through unique features such as AI Avatar and immersive 3D environments to help students better understand complex concepts and engage with the learning material in a more meaningful way.

Increased Accessibility:

Our learners enjoy the convenience of a virtual campus to attend classes from anywhere while having more flexibility in terms of scheduling. This can be especially helpful for students who have to juggle work or family commitments.

Increased Affordability:

From a cost perspective, building and maintaining a virtual campus is often more cost-effective than a physical one, which can allow us to offer more affordable education options.

Conducive and Safe Environment for Collaboration:

The metaverse can facilitate collaboration among adult learners, lecturers, trainers, and industry professionals in a safe and trusted community, allowing them to collaborate and work together on projects and share ideas. This can help learners to build strong networks and gain valuable skills and knowledge.

Improved Access to Resources:

The metaverse can provide adult learners with access to a wealth of resources, including online libraries, virtual museums, and educational games. This can help learners to expand their knowledge and skills beyond what is covered in their classes.

Overall, the metaverse can offer our learners a rich and engaging learning environment that caters to their unique needs and interests.

(3) What are some of the challenges Aventis faced during the setting up of this virtual space?

As with any new venture, Aventis faced a number of challenges during the setup of our virtual space. One of the biggest challenges was ensuring that our metaverse campus was user-friendly and intuitive for our students and faculty, especially those who may not be familiar with virtual environments. We had to spend a significant amount of time on design and user experience to ensure that everyone could navigate the platform with ease.

Another challenge was creating a robust and secure platform that could handle a large number of users without crashing. We had to invest in the right technology and infrastructure to ensure that the platform is stable and reliable.

We also had to ensure that the content we provide on the platform is of the highest quality, which required collaboration with experienced educators and industry professionals. Finally, we had to address potential concerns around data privacy and security, which required a significant investment in cybersecurity measures.

Overall, while there were certainly challenges to overcome, we are extremely proud of the metaverse campus that we have built and the positive response we have received from our beta testers. We are excited to continue to develop and refine our platform, and look forward to the official launch and our upcoming metaverse events in the coming months.

(4) In your opinion, how can the metaverse add value to education as a whole?

(1) Revolutionized Learning Experiences: More Accessible, Engaging, & Collaborative

We believe that the Metaverse has the potential to revolutionize the way we approach education and learning, and Aventis is proud to be at the forefront of this exciting new frontier. We believe that by leveraging the power of the metaverse, we can provide a more accessible, engaging, and collaborative learning experience for all.

The metaverse can provide a platform for learners to engage in real-world simulations leveraging on the latest AI technology such as ChatGPT and AI Avatar to allow learners to practice and apply their skills in a safe and controlled environment. This can help learners to gain confidence and experience before entering the actual workforce.

Aventis Metaverse Learning Festival (2023) – 31st March

Honestly, we are still at very early stages of our metaverse development blueprint. We are thrilled with the response and support we have received thus far and can’t wait to showcase our virtual campus to the world with our upcoming metaverse event on the 31st of March. (More details as required to be shared by Shaun) This event aims to explore cutting-edge technologies such as Metaverse, Blockchain & Cryptocurrencies, Industry 4.0 & Cloud Native, and Deep Learning.

(2) More Innovative and Exciting Applications to come in field of education

As the technology continues to evolve, it is likely that we will see even more innovative and exciting applications of the metaverse in the field of education.

Personalization of Learning Experience: The metaverse can provide personalized learning experiences that cater to the unique needs and interests of individual learners where they can adjust the pace and style of the learning material, provide feedback, and offer additional resources or explanations as needed. This can help learners to acquire new knowledge and skills more effectively.

Immersive Learning Environment Using AI Avatar: AI avatars can provide an engaging and interactive learning experience that can help learners to retain information better and apply it more effectively. Avatars can use gamification and other techniques to make learning more fun and engaging

Showcasing Your Digital Credentials (NFTs) Digital Assets and as Digital Avatar: This is a digital representation of you and can take many forms, such as 2D or 3D animated characters, we envision where you not only learn and train in the metaverse but also you will be able to find gigs, careers and jobs in the metaverse which

bring together people with a wide variety of skill sets and connect them to paying clients.

Real-world simulations through augmented reality: Like Pokemon Go for work and training. The metaverse can provide a platform for learners to engage in real-world simulations, allowing them to practice and apply their skills in a safe and controlled environment. This can help learners to gain confidence and experience before entering the actual workforce.

We are excited to continue pushing the boundaries of what is possible in education and look forward to the future of learning in the metaverse. Thank you for your interest in Aventis and our innovative approach to education!
