Design of cultural differences in hypermedia environments
Özet
In this article, initially, the definition of the relevant terms such as
culture/cultural differences and hypermedia will be focussed on. Later, the role
and importance of the inclusion and design of cultural differences in
hypermedia environments in terms of learning/teaching will be concentrated
on. The aim is: 1) to give the definition of the pertinent terms and state what
cultural differences mean; 2) to explore the inclusion, role and design of
cultural differences in hypermedia environments in terms of learning. At this
digital age, the majority of the worldwide learners are generally digitally fluent
and competitive [Türel, (2013), p.483; Gros et al., (2012), pp.190–210]
although some claims otherwise [Bullen et al., (2011), pp.1–24]. Therefore, the
increasing opportunities for learners to access such innovative resources are
likely to open the way for a number of positive changes in their lives towards
not only to their own cultures, but also to different cultures. Pedagogically and
epistemologically, materials writers and educational institutions should respond
to all learners who come from a wide range of diverse backgrounds. Material
writers and educational institutions should also accommodate learners’ cultural
differences in teaching/learning materials whether they are in the form of
conventional materials (CMs) or hypermedia environments. Not only does such
an inclusion help them gain confidence, but it also helps them respect for
themselves as well as others.
