  This paper presents a conceptual insight into the Design of the Metaverse to
facilitate educational transformation in selected developing nations within the
Global South regions, e.g., India. These regions are often afflicted with
socio-economic challenges but rich in cultural diversity. By utilizing a
socio-technical design approach, this study explores the specific needs and
opportunities presented by these diverse settings. A rapid scoping review of
the scant existing literature is conducted to provide fundamental insights. A
novel design methodology was formulated that utilized ChatGPT for ideation,
brainstorming, and literature survey query generation. This paper aims not only
to shed light on the educational possibilities enabled by the Metaverse but
also to highlight design considerations unique to the Global South.
