Abstract
This paper questions whether multiculturalism exists online. A case study examines a discussion about the myth of multiculturalism taking place in a Moodle, a Course Management System (CMS). An international group participated in a six weeks asynchronous, collaborative learning experience where discussion included their identifying the intrinsic worth of the virtual environment for facilitating communication, and examining an online culture as a culture of silence. The paper offers an evaluation of the appropriateness of the term 'multiculturalism' for online asynchronous interaction and presents ethnopluralism as a better term to convey the diversity of cultures from which online communication takes place.
