A new form of learning that can be experienced in virtual space
The project of VLP, Virtual Learning Platform, provides new places and learning opportunities for those who have been unable to attend school or participate intermittently in education support centers and students who need Japanese language education, using virtual spaces online.
The use of virtual spaces enables the efficient use of human resources to support students who do not attend school or need Japanese language education.
In FY2023, the VLP will be provided to 8 local governments (Shinjuku, Sumida, Shibuya, Nakano, Suginami, Hachioji, Komae and Tama) and 4 locations in Tokyo under the Lifelong Learning Division of the Regional Education Support Department of the Education Agency.
VLP is a virtual space constructed with 3D metaverse spaces that allow you to communicate by manipulating your avatar through GIGA device, such as PC or tablet.
Communication functions are implemented for daily use by students and employees of local governments.
