Abstract
This paper is concerned with the use of a text-based environment – a Moo – to run theoretical and creative courses in the area of media studies. Two of the courses were multicultural and multinational while the third was monocultural. The courses were analyzed to understand further the variables that affected the creation or disruption of a sense of community amongst the students. Of particular concern was to identify what variables were due to the “development” aspects of the program and what might likely appear in other multicultural environments.
