[AISWorld] Framework for culture-oriented e-learning System Development Methodologies

[Sam Lubbe]

Colleagues
 
I have an academic discourse with a colleague of mine(Both the supervisor and the student are not experts in terms of culture as the one is a scientist and the other a B Com student and M Com student). The supervisor wants to accept a student that wants to work on the following topic:
 

Towards a framework for culture-oriented e-learning System Development Methodologies (e-LSDM) in South Africa 
My stand on this argument in this instance is:
a.They would like to argue and prove in this instance that any e-learning presentation should take all culture into consideration.
 
b. That means, to me, that Word needs to change for instance. Also, I am sure that culture does not play a part when we present facts to a class. Tests and exams require student to present the facts as it was given to them without culture taken into account. I am sure that it is like a black hole that will never be filled.
 
c. Surely this is not possible since we cannot change facts to suit the culture? Can you imagine how, if this was possible, much extra work will be needed. Again the black hole.
 
d. Also, the word towards does not indicate any D work. I also cannot understand what their original contribution to the body of knowledge would be? lastly, how would they present the Popper falsification theory in this regard?
 
Any contribution to the academic discourse would be welcomed.
