Title:

Cross-Cultural Understanding of Interface Design: A Cross-Cultural Analysis of Icon Recognition

Author:

Evers, V., Kukulska-Hulme, A. & A. Jones

Abstract:

This paper reports the findings of a small-scale study that investigated cultural aspects of understanding the website of a virtual campus. Results indicate differences in expectations and understanding due to the user’ knowledge of everyday life and real world experience, and suggest that the campus-metaphor that was used is not universally transferable.
