Abstract

Continuing education, which includes vocational and personal training for adults, is necessary for achieving individual goals at the micro level and social goals at the macro level. Learning activities organised for individuals to acquire the skills and competencies they need should be designed and conducted in a way to quickly adapt to the current era and possible future conditions and requirements. It can be said that traditional face-to-face or campus-based and instructor-centred continuing education activities will be replaced by flexibility, individualisation, autonomy, interactive, and immersive learning experiences. In this direction, the concepts of continuing education and Metaverse are first analysed in the book chapter, and then continuing education in the Metaverse is briefly evaluated with examples from different fields.
