Abstract
In this paper, we present the micro-textual method as an efficient analysis tool for the research that is being conducted about online teaching and multiculturalism in higher education, in Melton Centre for Jewish Education in the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The aim of this paper is to show how the method allows to identify and characterize different types of dialogues in online forums, and to examine their evolution. The method consists of a toolbox of terms that was developed for the analysis of texts. The aim of the method is to contribute to the understanding of textual and intertextual discourse and its evolution in virtual courses, particularly in higher education. This method uses textual and contextual components for the understanding of texts. The ethno-cultural indicator is a main component and it is related to the participant’s membership in a religious or cultural group, and to issues related to its identity. Through the example that was chosen for this work, we propose to analyze questions related to the interrelationship among personal, professional and ethno-cultural indicators, as well as the role of the teacher in online higher education.
