Abstract
In our 2 year study, we compared student narratives about their learning and experiences in collegiate learning environments with this model and eight cultural construct continua emerged. This chapter includes a visual, working model of eight cultural constructs as well as interpretations and illustrative student narratives of ways each construct manifests in web-based collegiate teaching and learning.
