Designing for learners

It's important to take into account cultural background and gender when designing instruction.Socialization of the learner is essential in defining their learning style. With learners hailing from different cultural experiences there must be consideration towards their origin. It can become quite a challenge for an instructor when rolling out an effective instruction design and not taking into account the fact that not all learners maintain the same culture.

To me gender falls within a similar realm. Students belonging to different gender groups may not necessarily react favorably towards the same instruction design. As an instructor one must comprehend the different learning styles and know which styles are most effective to which gender group.
