摘要: 新科技革命下信息技术正在改变着人类的思想与行动,推动着数字时代高等教育教学的变革。高等教育数字化转型已成为驱动高校教育教学适应与引领发展的最大动力。在这场教育教学数字变革浪潮中,元宇宙教育教学因具有虚拟灵动、美妙生动、智慧联动等令人充满遐想的想象特征而受到了广泛关注。文中概述了元宇宙的起源,并对教育元宇宙进行了分析;重点从情景式与场景化教学的基本特征、基本理论基础、“虚”与“实”映射及“互动”、学习方式,以及基本分类与过程等角度,论述了元宇宙教学;对元宇宙教学案例与实践进展进行分析;初步给出了元宇宙教学平台架构与核心功能,并进行了深入的系统阐释。最后对AI技术赋能的智慧元宇宙教学进行剖析,指出其为课程建设与教学改革开辟了新途径,在教学资源与内容、环境与空间、组织与形式、方法与技术等方面将赋予新型态,为教与学提供新选择;阐释了智慧元宇宙教学助推高等教育数字化转型走向深入的基本逻辑,并对制约元宇宙教学广泛应用需要亟待突破的技术进行剖析。元宇宙教学令人憧憬的美好明天,亟需更多理念、思想与理论上的深层次研究,同时也需要实践上的同步甚至是超前探索与尝试。这就要求教育教学学术界、科技创新技术界、研发制造产业界携手攻关,共同开创高校数字化教学转型的新未来。

Abstract: With the new technological revolution,information technology is rapidly changing human thinking and actions,promoting changes in higher education and teaching in the digital era.The digital transformation of higher education has become the greatest driving force for the adaptation and leading development of higher education and teaching.In this wave of digital transformation in education and teaching,the metaverse education and teaching has received widespread attention due to its imaginative features such as virtual agility,wonderful vividness,and intelligent linkage.The origin of the metaverse is outlined and the educational metaverse is analyzed.Focusing on the basic characteristics,theoretical basis,mapping and interaction between “virtual” and “real”,learning methods,as well as basic classification and process of situational and scenario based teaching,this paper analyses the teaching of the metaverse,discusses the teaching cases and practical progress of the metaverse.The preliminary architecture and core functions of the metaverse teaching platform is provided,and a thorough systematic explanation is given.Finally,it analyzes the intelligent meta-universe teaching enabled by AI technology,and points out that it opens up new avenues for curriculum construction and teaching reform.In terms of teaching resources and content,environment and space,organization and form,methods and technologies,new forms will be given,providing new choices for teaching and learning.It explaines the basic logic of promoting the digital transformation of higher education through intelligent metaverse teaching,and analyzes the technologies that urgently need to be broken through to restrict the widespread application of metaverse teaching.The promising future of teaching in the metaverse urgently requires more in-depth research in concepts,ideas,and theories,as well as synchronous or even advanced exploration and experimentation in practice.It requires the academic community of education and teaching,the scientific and technological innovation technology community,and the research and development manufacturing industry to work together to create a new future for the transformation of digital teaching in universities.

Key words: Digital transformation, Metaverse, Artificial intelligence, Metaverse education, Metaverse teaching
