Abstract
This paper aims to investigate the role of cultural differences in the usability of websites to encourage life-long learning. The effect of culture on website usability are examined to establish how websites can be designed to match various cultures, by dealing with specific factors that affect localisation and internationalisation of websites and user preferences. The rationale is to examine whether websites are effective for specific cultural groups or for a general population of users. A small-scale experiment has been carried out to test the success of the research methodology and design. The results from that small-scale experiment have indicated that the materials and protocols were suitable for the large-scale experiment, following specific alterations. This paper displays a synopsis of the experiment to encourage life-long learning and describes the overview of main conclusions of the large-scale experiment.
