Chosun University Enjoys Freshman Campus Tour through 'Metaverse'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Cho Hyung-joo] The College of Basic Education at Chosun University is conducting the 'Freshman Preparatory University' program, which provides preliminary education on university life and basic academic knowledge for early admission students of the 2022 academic year, through the metaverse (virtual world).

Last year, Chosun University's 'Freshman Preparatory University' program was conducted via YouTube live streaming to prevent the spread of COVID-19, but this year it is attracting attention by utilizing the metaverse, a global issue in the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution.

The program, held from January 3 to 5 through the metaverse platform 'Gathertown,' was designed to foster freshmen's school pride and positive bonding, and was created to suit the preferences of the experience-oriented MZ generation (born 1980?2005).

The virtual space faithfully reproduces the campus, including Chosun University's main building, central library, College of Fine Arts, and Gwangju eSports Stadium. Students can explore the school using their own characters and participate in mission programs, with various prizes planned to be awarded upon completion of mission events.

The Freshman Preparatory University program includes ▲ Welcome Address and Chosun University A to Z ▲ Gathertown In Chosun University (Online Campus Tour) ▲ Real Talk on University Life with Seniors ('Chosun University All You Need to Know') ▲ Know Yourself to Win Every Battle (University Student Learning Style Diagnostic Test), among others.

Through this, freshmen are expected to be motivated for admission and to have positive experiences related to the university.

Park Hyun-joo, Dean of the College of Basic Education, said, "We sincerely welcome all prospective freshmen who have been admitted to Chosun University," adding, "We hope you plan and prepare for a confident and successful university life through the preparatory university that starts earlier than others."
