An adaptive model of teaching computer literacy in the context of multicultural instruction

Abstract

Computer literacy is becoming a mandatory subject in an increasing number of higher education institutions. At the same time, we can observe an internationalization of higher education all over the world. The educators are challenged to teach culturally sensitive and culturally adaptive courses. We propose the development of a model for teaching strategy of computer literacy in the context of multicultural instruction at the university undergraduate level. Our model will be customizable, so that it can be adapted to class size, disparities in previous knowledge, perception and experience with using learning management systems. Using our model and through frequent quantitative and qualitative analysis, class style can be constantly adapted and adjusted.
