Abstract: Utilizing brain-based learning strategies in the classroom encourages the creation of learning environments that are inviting, engaging, and meaningful. Information and communication technologies used in online classes can be enhanced and made more meaningful for students by applying a brain-based approach. This paper examines the use of brain-based learning in an online environment to build an inviting and collaborative cultural experience for learners. A brain-based model is explored to illustrate effective teaching strategies that can be implemented in an online learning environment. Empirical research and analysis are presented in a research study along with a theoretical evaluation of how incorporating brain-based strategies in online learning can positively affect overall student development and online culture.
