Subjects: Technological obsolescence, Shared virtual environments, Educational technology, Resource allocation, Qualitative research
Abstract: Purpose: With the rapid diffusion of the metaverse into all aspects of businesses and the education industry, scholars have predominantly focused on examining its projected benefits and harms, yet have overlooked to empirically explore its unpredictable nature, which offers an exciting realm of unexplored challenges and opportunities. Design/methodology/approach: This research adopts a qualitative research design in the form of 24 interviews from a single EdTech to investigate the possibility of unexpected developments resulting from the integration of the metaverse into its solutions. Findings: Three noteworthy observations have emerged from the analysis: technological obsolescence, resource allocation imbalance, and monoculturalism. Originality/value: This research pioneers an empirical exploration of the latent outcomes stemming from metaverse adoption within EdTechs, while also introducing a novel theoretical framework termed "meta-governance," which extends the Edu-Metaverse ecosystem.
