This paper analyzes the degree of application of the technology of virtual worlds, also called  Metaverses in the field of education, gathering examples carried out throughout the world and describing the advantages and disadvantages of the different platforms that can be used for the creation and development of metaverses  for educational purposes. Finally, it studies several cases developed by the authors’ research group, detailing aspects relative to the design of ciberarchitecture, that have direct influence in the adequation  of such virtual facilities to the use that they are intended.
