Abstract

Higher education institutions (HEIs) are becoming "metaversities" and taking their physical campuses into a virtual online world. This article provides a detailed analysis and description of higher education institutions' adoption of key underlying metaverse technologies such as virtual meeting space, virtual reality, augmented reality, mixed reality and digital twins. We analyze multiple case studies of tent HEIs that have incorporated metaverse in their teaching, learning and extra-curricular activities. We have developed seven propositions, which describe some driving forces that potentially exert pressures on higher education institutions to adopt the metaverse and the effects of the metaverse on student engagement and academic performance.
