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 users’ knowledge of everyday life and real world experience, and suggest that the campus metaphor that was used is not universally transferable.
