Culture plays an overarching role that impacts online education. Unfortunately, there are few research based publications that examine culture and even fewer that offer guidance on how to achieve balance between traditional culture and innovative approaches to maximise online learning practice. This title is based on empirical research, practice and theory, and provides a unique and comprehensive analysis of culture in online education from a global perspective.
