Towards Culture Influenced Virtual Learning Environment Trust (CIVLET) Framework

At present the common model of virtual education involves the delivery of courses via the
internet as compliment to traditional classroom learning. This model is widely adopted in traditional
institution. In a more advanced model, all courses are offered solely through the internet, and on
satisfactory completion students are awarded degrees. A virtual learning provider still has to find a
way to earn students’ trust. This paper presents the framework for modelling trust in virtual learning
environment. Our propose framework relies on existing behavioural related information system
research theories. However, since participants of virtual learning environment are often
geographically distributed and the trust dimensions vary, we propose the inclusion of culture as a key
construct in our framework.
