The creation of the World Wide Web (WWW) in 1992 enabled the emergence of new educational proposals and made on-line education more accessible on-line. The facility of use of the Web and the ability to present multimedia tools increased the number of courses that could be offered on-line. Computers and information technology expanded opportunities in education and opened the way for the use of new educational methods. This technological change requires a change in the role played by the teacher, however, the introduction of these technologies in the learning environment cause disturbance in the status quo, leading the individual to have to reconfigure themselves and their perception of the world that is around them too. He needs to rearrange his world in order that it makes sense to him again, through the process of sensemaking (WEICK, 1995; WEICK, SUTCLIFFE AND OBSTFELD, 2005) individuals reorganize their world. Sensemaking can be understood as the interpretation that the person does about an event that generated a disorder in that world is accustomed, awakening a reorganization of meanings to understand the new environment in order that it makes sense for him. The objective of this study is to understand how the introduction and use of metaverses for teaching affect the learning environment which academics are accustomed and how they reinterpret and rearrange their world. The metaverse Second Life was chosen because of the fact that it is the metaverse most widespread in the world (ANDREAS, TSITASOS, TERSIDOU AND POMPORTSIS, 2010) and by some universities adopt this to teaching (DE LUCIA, FRANCESE, PASSERO AND TORTORA, 2009). We opted for a qualitative method with conduction in-depth interviews done with professors of higher education institution in South Region of Brazil. Their opinions and views were collected and evaluated by means of discourse analysis, as published in the paper of Nicolaci-da-Costa (2007). The results contribute to a deeper understanding of specific issues regarding the use of metaverses by professors, while at the same time point possible factors that may facilitate the integration of technology into the environment.
