Abstract—This article presents research on a metaverse learning ecosystem for Hyflex learning using Snoopathon to enhance systematic and innovative thinking. This research endeavor focused on leveraging a metaverse learning ecosystem to facilitate Hyflex learning while utilizing Snoopathon methodology to augment systematic and innovative thinking skills. The study aimed to achieve three main objectives: 1) synthesizing the conceptual framework of the metaverse, 2) developing a creative metaverse learning ecosystem, and 3) evaluating the outcomes of the implemented strategies. A total of eleven participants took part in the research, selected through purposive sampling. These participants were experts drawn from diverse educational institutions, each holding academic positions and possessing specialized knowledge in designing and developing teaching systems. Importantly, all participants boasted a minimum of five years of professional experience in their respective fields. To assess the effectiveness of the interventions, two main research tools were employed. Firstly, the evaluation involved scrutinizing the components of the Hyflex learning process, particularly focusing on the Snoopathon methodology. Secondly, the research evaluated the metaverse’s capacity to enhance systematic and innovative thinking among participants. By employing these research tools and methodologies, the study aimed to provide insights into the efficacy of integrating a metaverse learning ecosystem with Hyflex learning approaches, along with the impact of utilizing Snoopathon to foster systematic and innovative thinking skills within this context. According to the research findings, both the elements and the capacity to promote systematic and innovative thinking were remarkably elevated.
