Active Research Area

The impact of cultural diversity on group interactions through technology is an active research area. Current research has found that a student’s culture appears to influence online interactions with teachers and other students (Freedman & Liu, 1996). Students from Asian and Western cultures have different Web-based learning styles (Liang & McQueen, 1999), and Scandinavian students demonstrate a more restrained online presence compared to their more expressive American counterparts (Bannon, 1995). Differences were also found across cultures in online compared to face-to-face discussions (Warschauer, 1996). Student engagement, discourse, and interaction are valued highly in “western” universities. With growing internationalization of western campuses, increasing use of educational technology both on and off campus, and rising distance learning enrollments, intercultural frictions are bound to increase.

This chapter aims to explore the role of web-based learning (WBL) in global education, thus describing the theoretical and practical overview of WBL, the multifaceted applications of WBL tools in educational settings, the application of web-based language learning, the application of web-based problem-solving activities, and the significance of WBL in global education. The fulfillment of WBL is vital for schools that seek to serve students and educators, improve educational performance, enhance competitiveness, and reach continuous achievement in global education. Therefore, it is necessary for schools to explore their WBL, establish a strategic plan to usually check their technological advancements, and immediately respond to the WBL needs of students and educators. The chapter argues that applying WBL in global education has the potential to increase organizational performance and reach educational goals in the digital age.

The Impact

With the inception of the web now being more than 20 years ago, many web-based learning technology systems (LTS) have had a long life and have undergone many changes, both affecting content and infrastructure technologies. A change factor model can capture the various factors causing LTS to change. Methods for change-aware design of LTS have been suggested. The purpose of this investigation is, firstly, to add empirical results to aspects of these models and methods in order to show the relevance of such a change factor model by specifically looking at an LTS that has been developed, maintained and extended over a period of 20 years. Secondly, these results shall be used to develop a conceptual model capturing and assessing the impact of change. A key observation is an unexpectedly high impact of environmental constraints on the LTS, but also new opportunities emerging over time have had dramatic changes as their consequence.
