Masako HAYASHI · International Conference on Computers in Education · 2024
This study explores the use of Generative AI (GenAI) in student-led Metaverse world creation within an international virtual exchange course involving 34 students from 10 countries. GenAI was utilized to enhance audience engagement and stimulate idea generation, facilitating a more streamlined and creative project development process. However, challenges arose in implementing AI-generated ideas, especially for beginners. The findings emphasize the potential of GenAI and XR technologies in fostering intercultural understanding and collaboration, while highlighting the need for improved prompt design to support novice learners.
