Abstract

In this paper, the authors attempt to describe a possibility of an individual approach to learning within multicultural electronic educational space. To solve this problem the authors proposed criteria for determining learner’s cultural and cognitive profile and ways of adaptation of educational content and interface as a pre-requisite for creating “smart educational environment”. An important factor in the design of educational media environment is to focus on the personal and socio-cultural approaches to learning information typical for a selected cultural group, resulting in the possibility of constructing an individual educational trajectory. The authors propose to design a prototype of “smart educational environment” whose interface and content could be adjusted to a student’s cultural-cognitive profile.
