Although this is written specifically for online tutors, much of the information and advice applies to online facilitators as well. The authors examine cultural differences in the online learning environment, including how diversity affects language, written text, images, metaphors, communication style, and online presence. Appendix B is a chart comparing different linguistic groups and cultures.

    • Some of the key questions revolve around how culture is, or is not, experienced online:

      • Is it easier to work across cultures free from visuals cues, which tap into our prejudices?
      • Is it harder without visual cues so that we miss sensitive cultural cues?
      • Just how do we maximise the diversity and respect for cultures while tutoring online?
