“…It can be argued that due to a more extensive media exposure and access to the Internet and other information platforms, younger people tend to exhibit a more positive attitude toward new products (Smith, 2007). Empirical studies show that Internet exposure is an important aspect of younger peoples' social identity and-due to the global reach of the World Wide Web-leads to a lower degree of ethnocentrism (Gross, 2004;Iske, Klein, Kutscher, & Otto, 2008;Jeffres, Atkin, Bracken, & Neuendorf, 2004;Lee, 2008). Furthermore, younger consumers, especially in developed countries, experience a liberal and open economy with plenteous product imports from abroad.…”

The presence of Chinese companies in international markets has increased, and one of their main challenges is to overcome the negative image that Chinese products have in many countries. This study aims to shed light on how sociopsychological determinants affect the perceived attractiveness of Chinese products in Germany, using a sociopsychological approach based on social identity theory and social learning theory. The results indicate that the individual's age, level of education, occupational status, and international experience have significant effects on the perceived attractiveness of Chinese products, whereas the individual's international experience in China does not show such effects. Significant differences between different product categories are revealed.

“…Empirical studies shows that socio cultural factors do influence the usage levels of Internet by the people (Hargittai, 2004) [18]. A study based on a survey of 1024 young people in Germany (aged between 14 and 23 years) show that even among young users, who are supposedly the 'Internet-savvy' generation, there is a strong relationship between social inequality and differences in Internet usage (Iske, Klein, Kutscher, Uwe Otto, 2008) [19]. A thorough understanding of the students' background is very essential before designing the learning process and setting up the infrastructure.…”

“…Besides learning materials provided by educators, students create and search for additional learning resources, especially in the World Wide Web [9]. This may be due to various reasons, e.g., if students do not have sufficient prior knowledge to understand the content, or if learning materials do not satisfy individual learning preferences.…”

Personal interaction with learning materials, (re-)arranging learning resources in a semantically meaningful way is important for comprehension and personal knowledge construction. Current learning systems only enable learners to add simple digital ink or text notes. How would users work with a system for collaboratively augmenting and semantically connecting learning materials with related knowledge resources? This paper presents user studies conducted with both students and educators to elicit users' acceptance, needs and preferences regarding such a learning system.
