Abstract

Universities must deliver various types of learning, including collaborative approaches across institutions and the integration of ICT for virtual, ubiquitous education. This study implemented three activities: (1) hybrid learning combining experiential and virtual training, and (2) project-based collaborative learning linking university and high school students in community scenarios. Learning was facilitated without time limits using technologies like the metaverse, and the effectiveness of these methods was evaluated
