Promoting Multicultural Awareness through Electronic Communication
Huang, Hui-Ju
International Electronic Journal for Leadership in Learning, v10 n7 2006
This project utilized computer technology to establish an email discussion forum for communication and learning in which students shared information, ideas, and processes of learning multicultural education. This paper presents the quantitative count of email messages and qualitative analysis of students' perceptions of email discussions. It then discusses how electronic discussions differ from in-class discussions in two ways: encouraging active and collaborative learning, and promoting equality. The issues of management of discussions and challenges of using technology are also discussed. (Contains 2 tables.)
