Dear All , I am wondering abt one thing on E-learning and coolaboration building the courses , most of web2.0 tools are built by western people or company ( am I right ? and WE is surely more internaational )
so how abt the cultural senstivity issue ? do you think it will not value the student their own culture background and make people all become the same or simliar by using these E-learning tools or platforms , I know we have something called " re-use " or re-create but again , I am a little bit concerned about the cultural discrimination and the effects on my students . China has already becoming very westernised by KFC or Macdonald , One project in Taiwan called OOPS translating MIT courses even make this worse by talking about translation , it is good to learn from each other , but it is not fun to become one alike each other . Last year one of my classroom projects my students are making some web2.0 slides , I sent it to Leigh and Mike and James ( did I send it to you ?) but they turned out to be very western feeling , I would like to hear about your suggestions or ideas , thank you Leo -- blog:http://leolaoshi.yo2.cn HELP项目https://groups.google.com/group/helpelephantsliveproject --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WikiEducator" group.
