Abstract

In recent years, online education has gained popularity. With the emergence of the COVID-19 epidemic, online learning has grown in importance as an alternative to conventional classrooms. As more education is delivered online, instructors must discover methods to build online settings that foster a sense of community and pleasant educational experiences for all students. This involves thinking about how to foster cultural diversity in the online classroom. Promoting cultural variety in the virtual classroom greatly enhances virtual learning. Finding successful approaches to foster cultural diversity in unconventional learning contexts, on the other hand, may be difficult. Educators need culturally sensitive teaching competence. A good grasp of the goals of culturally responsive education prepares and empowers educators to innovate in order to guarantee cultural diversity is embraced in their online classrooms.
