This video is about classroom culture as it compares to cultural diversity in the global sense. How cultural diversity influences classroom culture, and the diversity of the eLearning classroom for adults is presented in a news clip format.

On line classrooms no longer need to feel isolated think tanks. The instructional designer has the means to create on line classrooms that can also be community-based, right now. There is a vibrant community that we all share within the online classroom. It transcends both geographic and age boundaries. We have the potential to share our learning discoveries with the larger community to make profound and meaningful impact. We've got the technology to make this happen. Using technology to its fullest to communicate in real and meaningful ways will turn an isolated learning experiences into shared growing experiences where imaginative ideas are exchanged, and friendships are forged.  In many ways the blended eLearning classroom experience can serve as a catalyst for convergence and inclusion.

Creating encouraging eLearning environments starts with an engaging introduction, and concludes with deep learning and intrinsically motivated students. When the learning experience is individualized, and student-centered, all students exit with more knowledge and confidence than he or she had prior to taking the course. Individual student strengths and weaknesses are identified and supported throughout the course; the classroom community acts cohesively as one. 
Ultimately, no matter how much scientific evidence or technology exists the best guide for reaching students will always come down to the experience and intuition of the skilled teacher. Whether in-person, or on line, connections are made one person at a time when both parties find the relationship mutually beneficial. Growth, academic or otherwise, takes dedicated effort, communication, and time.
