Working abroad in a very different culture can help expand one's awareness of the default* contexts behind everyday practices, including education, that are often taken for granted. A more familiar scenario that also calls attention to the context of educational practices, is the increasing number of foreign students appearing in classes evidently with different assumptions and customary learning styles. Differing contexts are the reason that practices do or should adjust according to the situation. In e-learning as in other fields, one size does not fit all.
