The international and multicultural nature of the World Wide Web positions the issues of recognizing and observing cultural differences at the forefront of considerations in the design of Web pages. We address some of these issues. Research has already identified some Web page design elements that may be culturally or genre specific, that may also be generalised as 'cultural markers', and that consequently influence Web page design and usability. These cultural markers represent a significant aspect of today's electronic environments in terms of influencing people's behaviour, changing their practices and attitudes, and affecting their learning and performance abilities. We identify general issues of cross-cultural Web page design by defining a check-list of design elements relevant for developing a Web site and investigate culturally specific design elements, on examples of South Korean and UK Web environments.

informationsystems (IS) is probably the most frequently used name for a variety of academic programs focusing on applied information technology, whose curricula is available from a range of schools and university departments. For more than a decade we have successfully run at the University of Westminster, UK, BSc and MSc courses in IS, within our IS department of the Cavendish school of computerscience. The major developments of curriculum design related to subject content, construction of courses and teaching learning strategies, has triggered changes in our IS programs which were implemented through the IS course reviews in 2002. This paper addresses the purpose of course reviews within the UK Higher Education (HE) environment, gives a rationale for our curriculum changes, describes the revalidated IS courses at both BSc and MSc levels including our teaching and assessment strategies, and comments on our progress to date.
