Abstract

This paper explores how effective communication and collaboration among online learners of diverse backgrounds are encouraged by design. In addition, communication techniques utilized by members in the Web-based learning community in bridging differences, achieving group goals, and optimizing individual learning are explored. The researcher suggests that the ideal curriculum bridges diversities by encouraging, inspiring, and inviting multiple perspectives within a highly flexible environment of multiple communication methods, learning styles and approaches.
