Abstract

With the expanding horizons of distributed eLearning, classrooms are increasingly consisting of a mix of different cultures. This paper addresses this factor in adaptive educational systems by presenting a new facet of the standard user model, the CAE-L cultural ontology framework. The definition and creation of the framework is introduced along with the first instances of its use and application as a subset of an AEH user model. This is further illustrated through the use of a CAE-L web service.
