This work-in-progress paper explores the effectiveness of multimedia, particularly Metaverse worlds, in enhancing cross-cultural understanding among students in international collaborative presentations. Challenges arise from constraints on direct cross-cultural experiences in online conferencing systems. This paper aims to determine if Metaverse worlds deepen crosscultural understanding. Through qualitative and quantitative analysis of student evaluations, results highlight Metaverse worlds' efficacy in fostering interactivity, immersion, and realism. Active engagement and interactivity are determined to be pivotal in leveraging the efficacy of Metaverse worlds. By emphasizing immersive technologies' role in cross-cultural education, the study provides insights for instructional design and international exchange initiatives.
