As internationalization of higher education has become more prevalent, the search for approaches to support quality learning within multicultural classrooms has become critical. In this study, we presented a blended and collaborative learning (BCL) method and discussed its potential as a viable learning approach for graduate classrooms with culturally-diverse students. We first discussed implementation of a BCL approach in a multicultural graduate course, then explored learnings gained from the BCL experience in terms of three interdependent Community of Inquiry elements: teaching, cognitive, and social presences, and in terms of its implementation in a multicultural setting.
随着高等教育的国际化变得越来越普遍，寻找支持多元文化课堂中高质量学习的方法变得至关重要。在这项研究中，我们提出了一种混合式和协作学习（BCL）方法，并讨论了其作为具有文化多样性学生的研究生课堂可行的学习方法的潜力。我们首先讨论了在多元文化研究生课程中实施 BCL 方法，然后从三个相互依存的 Inquiry 社区元素（教学、认知和社会存在）以及在多元文化环境中的实施方面探讨了从 BCL 经验中获得的学习。
