Abstract
Drawing from several transformative models for learning, three cases of online, cross-cultural learning in graduate-level classes were analyzed in terms of how effectively they developed into learning communities, what type of learning activities and what level of effort help transform student learning, and what types of distance education technologies and pedagogies are useful in supporting cross-cultural learning communities. Comparisons were made between an assignment, a complex assignment, and an entire course in terms of transforming student learning, student knowledge and beliefs about how they learn, and how students interact with the pedagogy and with cross-cultural peers.
