| Summary: | Teaching cultural competency online is an emerging field of research and practice. Dr. Wright teaches an online multicultural class and reviews some surprising advantages. Benefits include: More equitable discussions/interactions among students of different backgrounds. Less dominance by students of a particular group. Less cultural isolation, and more equity across the different groups. Could online be a less threatening environment than in person? Could it open people up a little bit faster? Conversations are asynchronous and students have time to think about multicultural issues before responding and be more thoughtful in the process. Students seem more enthusiastic to discuss "thorny" multicultural topics online than in the classroom. Somehow the online space feels safer. Dr. Wright makes suggestions for further research in this exciting new area of teaching and technology. |
