Cultural Imperialism in the Virtual Classroom: Critical Pedagogy in Transnational Education

Develops a cross-cultural perspective on the cultural consequences of the global use of computer mediated communication (CMC), arguing that "only by viewing CMC from a critical, anthropological perspective as a new cultural artifact can the impact of this new discursive practice be understood. The paper concludes by discussing CMC's possible consequences on global communities differentiated by their wealth, income and technical access to telecommunication technologies."
