Recently, active research has been conducted on the metaverse as a new education platform. However, only a few studies analyze the specific characteristics of this platform from potential users’ perspectives. Therefore, based on literature reviews and expert surveys on education, this study specifies the attributes and levels to be considered in developing metaverse education platforms. An online survey was conducted among university students in South Korea, and conjoint analysis was performed to propose the conditions for education platforms optimized for university education. The results revealed that 85% of respondents were willing to use metaverse education platforms, and preferred virtual classrooms that enable indirect experience in a web-based personal computer environment. In particular, the respondents showed a high preference for the education platforms that were available at $5 per month and used newly created three-dimensional avatar characters of themselves. This study is significant since its results have strategic implications for expanding the metaverse’s use as a new educational space.
