Abstract

Adaptive web technologies are often used in distance learning scenarios with little regard for learners’ cultural background. The CAE questionnaire determines the cultural artefacts that influence a learners behaviour within an educational environment. This paper presents the CAE-L cultural ontology along with an analysis of three countries (China, Ireland and UK). This ontology is instantiated to determine their ‘cultural stereotype’ which can then be used to define a layer of adaptation that traditional systems ignore.
