Accelerated globalization challenges educators to provide
culturally accessible learning to countries other than their own.
However, to do so, we must investigate the differences that may
affect the achievement of equitable learning outcomes. Translation
is a logical first step. Localization - a process in which symbols,
images, etc. are changed to those recognized by the targeted
learners - is also an effective adaptation. However, in education,
we inadvertently imbed our deeply rooted, culturally diverse values
into our approaches to learning and teaching. In this book, we
explore the existence of cultural dimensions in elearning, a
favored tool for global education. We examine whether such
differences, between learners in the United States and India,
affect learning outcomes and whether learners have different
perceptions of, and preferences for, elearning. Subsequently, we
propose the Cultural Adaptation Process (CAP). The CAP Model
provides a framework with which online instructors and
instructional designers can identify any needs for cultural
adaptation - aligned with course content, media, and instructional
approaches - within the constraints of their resources.
