Abstract
The metaverse, a virtual community brought into being via cutting-edge digital technology, unveils itself as a potential game-changer for organic chemistry education as the digital transformation gains significant momentum. This Commentary explores the opportunities and challenges of integrating the metaverse into organic chemistry, considering its impact on teaching, learning, and research. By examining various case studies and social observations, we highlight the potential of immersive virtual laboratories and augmented-reality-based training systems, showcasing their capacity to foster discovery, collaboration, and innovation. This discussion aims to inspire a scholarly thought exchange on how the metaverse can redefine traditional educational boundaries, enhancing the learning experience and advancing the future of organic chemistry education.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Chemical Education is the official journal of the Division of Chemical Education of the American Chemical Society, co-published with the American Chemical Society Publications Division. Launched in 1924, the Journal of Chemical Education is the world’s premier chemical education journal. The Journal publishes peer-reviewed articles and related information as a resource to those in the field of chemical education and to those institutions that serve them. JCE typically addresses chemical content, activities, laboratory experiments, instructional methods, and pedagogies. The Journal serves as a means of communication among people across the world who are interested in the teaching and learning of chemistry. This includes instructors of chemistry from middle school through graduate school, professional staff who support these teaching activities, as well as some scientists in commerce, industry, and government.
