Abstract
Can students learn culture using distance education? Emerging technologies can support the use of video in providing live interaction among nations. This paper will demonstrate how I-Movie and distance learning resources, such as Webct, LDL or DDN, and the Internet, can be integrated to further East/West cultural understanding among teachers and students. Cultural study trough distance education allows students to experience culture first hand, rather than reading about culture as defined by a textbook. The demonstration will be focused on what Midwesterners and Taiwanese educators and students really want to know about the core values of each other's cultures.
