Cluster Inc., which operates "cluster," one of Japan's largest metaverse platforms with a cumulative total of over 3,500 million users, has cooperated with Benesse Corporation to begin offering the "Shinken Mock Exam," which allows users to take exams by logging into a virtual space (metaverse) on the "cluster" platform it operates.
Mock exams using the metaverse can be taken at any time and place, even by individual students who do not take mock exams at school. In recent years, Cluster has received an increasing number of inquiries about solving problems in the field of education, and the number of downloads of the educational programs that have been made available free of charge has exceeded 500. Up until now, we have cooperated with them in answering direct inquiries from junior and senior high school students through "company tours" and "VR experience sessions," as well as supporting the development of digital talent through metaverse education.
The "Shinken Mock Exam" using the metaverse, which is conducted in cooperation with Benesse Corporation, is a mock exam that students apply for individually and take at a mock exam venue prepared on the metaverse. The subjects and exam content are the same as the conventional "Shinken Mock Exam."
The "Shinken Mock Exam" that utilizes the Metaverse allows students to test their abilities at any time and from anywhere, according to their personal circumstances. In addition, students can take the exam one subject at a time, so even students who find it difficult to find time can take the exam. If you move from the exam venue to the community room, you can communicate with other students by voice or chat with each other using your avatar before and after the exam.
The results of the exam and the assessment of the school of choice can be checked online. The method of submitting answers and the method of assessment have been devised, and the results are returned quickly, on the same day for multiple choice exams and within one to two weeks for written exams. In addition, the system provides reliable assessment of the school of choice and methods of preparation, just like the system implemented by the school.
