Abstract

Online education is expanding in higher education as a means of cost-effective, accessible, convenient, and flexible environments for learning. Such environments are popular amongst the growing population of diverse adult learners. This growth mirrors the need for diversity and multicultural education to both meet students' needs and prepare them for a multicultural, globalized world. Instructional design considerations that address diverse adult online learners' needs are examined and discussed. This chapter also examines some instructional design considerations that were used to develop and implement multiculturally inclusive materials and activities tested in graduate and undergraduate level courses. Recommendations for the development of online materials geared toward diverse adult audiences are provided.
