avoiding a slant toward one culture or
region in the world?
ɐAre we minimizing the use of slang
and local colloquialisms in the
learning materials? And if we are
using abbreviations or acronyms, are
we making sure to define them?
ɐ If English is the language used in the
training, are we providing translated
learning materials based on the depth
and breadth of knowledge that may
be needed by non-native English
speakers? (Do we know the level
of English proficiency our company
requires for its workforce?)
Questions to ask ourselves in
consideration of diverse populations
agnostic of region or culture include:
ɐAre we creating learning or using
tools for hosting learning content that
support colleagues with limitations
(visually impaired or color-blind,
hearing impaired, etc.)?
ɐ Are we considering
timing
of
live
learning sessions (time zones)
and also creating a combination
of synchronous or asynchronous
learning opportunities if timing is
unsuitable for some learners?
ɐ Is the learning modality designed to be
flexible enough to withstand varying
methods and tools for learner access
(bandwidth, webcams, computer
speed, etc.)?
ɐ Is there a variety of ways for learners
to interact with the instructor (mute/
unmute, chat, email, polling, learning
communities, reference libraries,
recordings of sessions, etc.), taking
into consideration modalities that
allow for more introverted learners to
be involved?
Understanding the
Cultural Dimensions
of Learning
The second way to apply cultural learning
contexts involves understanding the
cultural dimensions of learning. This is
| 30
Individualism vs.
Collectivism
Equality vs.
Authority
How is inequality seen?
How is status demonstrated?
How is respect shown?
by no means easy. It requires the learning
leader to introspect and " be acutely
aware of their own culture because their
world views cannot be separated from the
training that they develop. They should
become cognizant of how their own
cultural perspectives are represented
in the design decisions they make.
Furthermore, instructional
providers
should examine the assumptions they
hold about how learners will and should
respond, keeping an open mind for
potentially unexpected response. "
The Cultural Dimensions of Learning
Framework (CDLF) (Table 1), adapted
from the work of Hofstede and Hofstede
(2005), Nisbett (2003), Levine (1997),
Hall (1983), and Lewis (2006), by Parrish
and Linder-VanBerschot is
useful
for
understanding the spectrum of cultural
differences that impact the teaching and
learning enterprise.
The spectrum shown in the CDLF
does not address all potential cultural
dimensions of learning. However, it
Table 1.
The Cultural Dimensions of Learning Framework
This table highlights three of the eight cultural dimensions and provides
examples of questions to consider within those dimensions along with how
learning contexts may be shaped.
Cultural
Dimension
Context: Questions
to Consider
Learning Contexts Based
on Cultural Preferences
Value equality:
Dialogue and discussion are
critical learning activities.
Focus on authority:

and express their opinions.
What is key: The interests of
the individual or the interests
of the group?
To what degree are
interpersonal relationships
valued?
Hard work is motivated by
individual gain.
More collective:
Students speak up in limited situations.
Students accommodate
the teacher's point of view.
Hard work is motivated by the
greater good.
More nurturing:
Nurturing vs.
Challenging

cooperation and security
or recognition and
advancement?
All students are praised.

More modesty.
More challenging:
Excellence is praised.
Competition is cultivated.
More assertiveness.
