Avantis Education debuted its new Eduverse, dubbed as an educational metaverse for K–12 teachers and students, at ISTE Live 2022 in New Orleans on June 27, and Chris Klein gave THE Journal readers a quick walk-through via video interview, below.

The Eduverse offers K–12 students "immersive, educational content and amazing VR experiences. They can interact with each other as avatars, all in a secure and controlled environment, inside and outside of the classroom," the company said.

The platform is web-based and can be accessed from any device with an internet connection, including VR headsets, laptops, and tablets, for individuals or shared to a class on an interactive whiteboard or other type of display. It is free to use.
