Culturally Responsive Technology Use: Developing an On-line Community of Learners.

McLoughlin, Catherine

British Journal of Educational Technology, v30 n3 p231-43 Jul 1999

Traces the development of an online unit for Indigenous Australian learners, and accounts for cultural issues that impacted on the design of learning tasks and the associated avenues for communication provided to learners. In this context, culturally responsive design was ensured by the adoption of Lave's (1991) community of practice model. (AEF)
