Abstract
Cultural approaches to technology enablement must include type of content and type of medium with type of culture. Refining beyond shared interpretations of content by culture we need to examine cognitive mechanisms that may underpin the cultural modes of assimilation of e-learning and enlivening knowledge management. The paper compares western and Asian ( Malaysian) contexts for learning. Design implications are alluded to.
