E-Learning and Multiculturality in Mexico

Abstract

Since its origin as a nation, Mexico has been a meeting place for people with diverse cultural roots. This situation has two important aspects to be considered: the preservation and dissemination of the cultural richness that each group contribute, and, overcome the enormous challenge of achieving a respectful and harmonious coexistence between members of all groups. Making an effort for university students to develop knowledge, skills and aptitudes for the preservation of cultural wealth and for harmonious multicultural coexistence, the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) has developed a distance course, which is the object of this paper.
