The normalization of the epidemic has accelerated the digitization process of human society, and the education sector has actively deployed new infrastructure for education. During the epidemic, major schools responded to the call “suspending classes without suspending learning”, and have started the online teaching mode. While online education provides students with rich learning resources, it also gradually exposes many problems, such as the blocking of social interaction and emotional communication between teachers and students, and students sometimes feel lonely or even tired of learning, which affects students’ learning satisfaction and learning effect. How to use advanced information technology to further improve online learners’ learning satisfaction and learning effect has attracted more and more attention from researchers. With the maturity of metaverse-related technologies, the educational metaverse came into being. The educational metaverse, also known as the learning metaverse, can be simply understood as the aggregation of cloud education, that is, the application of the metaverse in the field of education. The educational metaverse is regarded as the next generation of new education mode, which will open the prelude to a new era of education. Based on the theme of educational metaverse, this paper combs and analyzes the relevant literature on the educational metaverse, and divides the educational metaverse into three aspects, namely, related technology, education and teaching, and library exhibition. It discusses the origin and connotation, relevant theoretical basis, formation process and development process, and understands the research status of the educational metaverse. Based on the above, this paper summarizes the existing educational metaverse literature, and draws the following conclusions: (1) The research on the educational metaverse is still in its infancy, mainly focusing on three aspects: related technology, education and teaching, and library; (2) The educational metaverse is called an epoch-making new education mode, which helps to meet the needs of lifelong education and personalized education, thus providing a powerful boost to the construction of a learning society. (3) Future research will pay more attention to research at a more macro and micro level. At the same time, this paper also puts forward the problems and challenges that China's educational metaverse may face, namely, data security and privacy protection, social ethics and morality, addiction and information literacy.
