Cultural contexts in collaborative interaction in international online learning environments.

• In Event: CLT - Culture in Online Learning Environments

Short Description

Building on previous research into collaborative interaction amongst learners from homogenous cultural groups the primary purpose of this study is to explore how these cultural factors influence collaborative interaction in cross-cultural distance learning settings. Making use of a mixed methods discourse analysis approach, this study uses Curtis and Lawson’s (2001) coding scheme to empirically analyze collaborative interaction. This current study investigates how salient cultural factors influence collaborative interaction in a cross/mixed-culture setting.
