Abstract

The narrative theoretical approach to content delivery is a powerful tool for educators and students to cultivate their cultural competencies and meaningful connections in the virtual classroom. By utilizing this approach, students can gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for their peers' diverse perspectives and experiences while nurturing community and belonging among themselves. Drawing upon current research, the chapter focuses on exploring the significance of cultural competence and fluency in establishing meaningful connections in online education. It introduces a novel approach to cultivating cultural competence and meaningful connections in the virtual classroom by providing practical examples of narratives and cultural content. It also includes a range of assignments and a case study that highlight different cultural perspectives and experiences, further reinforcing the importance of cultural understanding and empathy in virtual educational settings.
