“…In contrast, the business imperatives driving online internationalized offerings have tended to opportunistically gloss over potential complications that could arise from the students' cultural diversity, in their enthusiasm for new technologies and frontier markets. This oversight is ironic, given on one hand, the high value placed on interactivity evident in much of the "how to do online pedagogy" literature (e.g., Howell, 2001;Hacker & Niederhauser, 2000;Murphy, Walker, & Webb, 2001) and, on the other hand, the orthodox construction of the Asian 1 international student as insufficiently interactive (Doherty & Singh, 2005;Nichols, 2003).…”

This paper offers an analysis of cultural politics that emerged around naming practices in an ethnographic study of the interactions within an online MBA unit, offered by an Australian university to both "local" Australian students and international students enrolled through a Malaysian partner institution. It became evident that names were doing important identity, textual and pedagogical work in these interactions and considerable interactive trouble arose over the social practices surrounding names. The analysis uses sociolinguistic concepts to analyse selected slices of the online texts and participants' interview accounts. The analysis shows how ethnocentric default settings in the courseware served to heighten and exacerbate cultural difference as a pedagogical problem. These events are related to the larger problematic of theorizing the context of culture in times of globalization and increasingly entangled educational routes, with implications for the enterprise of online internationalized education.

This article looks at learning styles of library and information science (LIS) students. Felder and Solomon's Index of Learning Styles was administered to 108 LIS students between 2001 and 2002. These results were analyzed with respect to results from learning style assessments administered in the 1980s. Learning style preferences were compared between students in traditional and distance education courses. Teaching suggestions are offered for maximizing LIS student learning in Web-based instruction.KEYWORDS: LIS education, learning styles, distance education 1 Christopher Brown-Syed, M.L.S., Ph.D., is an assistant professor at the University at Buffalo; clb24@buffalo.edu.
