 * Some things for the introductory/context parts.**
 * brief overview of Chinese culture using Hofstede and maybe one or two other tools
 * brief overview of social learning theory
 * context of the case study we are using as a basis which combines the above two elements

- the impact of culture on learning styles - does the collectivist culture treat learning differently to the individualist culture? -how does a nation's power-difference (Hofstede) impact the teacher-learner relationship? - if the teacher knows all in Eastern culture, what is the role of the teacher in a (Western) social learning context? - technical issues in China and their impact on learning (ie. censorship as one of a host, such as slower connections(?), internet at work policies?) - what is knowledge in the Chinese context? - what is chinese culture in the online context, how does this clash with Western notions of online community? (I think this might be an intro type question). anyone else? I've only phrased these as questions for the time being as that's how I'm thinking in trying to identify some issues that we can then shortlist. All these will need to be restated in terms of problems. - Shelley
 * Some ideas for problems (pulled off the front page, not allocated to people as I want to get a cohesive shortlist before we finalise who does what -please use the discussion on this page to talk about overlaps etc):**
