N2 - The Metaverse holds the promise of profoundly transforming education by reshaping how courses are delivered and how students learn and engage, thanks to the novel possibilities it offers for immersive and interactive learning experiences. This study seeks to pinpoint both the challenges and advantages of integrating the metaverse into education, based on a systematic review of existing literature from both a technological and human viewpoint. It provides an in-depth analysis of not only the benefits of employing the Metaverse in education, but also the obstacles that educational institutions, designers, and implementers encounter when creating or utilizing these digital realms. The study’s findings underscore the need to develop and deploy metaverse systems to improve educational methods and maximize learner satisfaction. Furthermore, they will provide researchers with insights to tackle the multifaceted challenges associated with the use of metaverse tools and environments in education.
