Reformulate the Approach and Focus for Cultural Analysis
Analysis of the construct related to the perceptions of designers about cross-cultural design
and cross-cultural learner analysis revealed that the designers agreed with the need to address
cultural issues. However, even though the designers had a strong desire to learn more
about the cultural needs of learners, their current practice does not have a clearly defined
approach and focus for such an analysis during the needs assessment process. Whether it
be due to the time, budget, and resource constraints or because of bias and ignorance, the
sponsors and the management are unable to precisely understand and support cultural
analysis as delineated by the designers.
