E-LEARNING FAILS IN A LARGE CORPORATION Students from two universities in the Cape Province of South Africa, the University of the Western Cape (UWC), and Stellenbosch University (SUN), collaborated on an e-learning course across two disciplines: Social Work (UWC) and Social Psychology (SUN). The two student bodies differ broadly in terms of race, culture and class: UWC tends to have more students who would be classified as 'black' or 'coloured', and who come from relatively disadvantaged backgrounds, whereas SUN tends to have more 'white' students, who come from more advantaged backgrounds. The idea was to use the exposure to diversity as a springboard for reflecting on questions of community and identity. The course involved both a face-to-face component and an online component. The face-to-face part consisted of two workshops one at the beginning and one at the end of the course. In the first workshop, they drew pictures representing themselves and illustrating how they had arrived at the point in their lives where they were doing this course. After this workshop, the communication shifted online, and students engaged in conversation with one another, in groups of five or six, about their pictures. The online work was beset by unexpected technical challenges, in that the region suffered several severe power outages during the course. After despite these difficulties, the vast majority of the students said they had enjoyed the process, and had learnt valuable lessons from the interaction with people from diverse backgrounds.
