Talk given at the BOBCATSSS 2015 conference - http://www.bobcatsss2015.com/. This paper explains the prevalent cultural differences in e-learning on the basis of Hofstede’s (1988) cultural dimensions. It became clear that the most recurrent cultural dimension was individualism-collectivism and the least prominent was masculinity-femininity. Although the cultural dimensions offered support for explaining the results of the study, there were also some differences. The data obtained during the study explain different opportunities for helping the students in e-learning.
