- Rural Wings is an ambitious wide scale international research project on e-learning through satellite telecommunications. The project uses DVB-RCS satellite technology in order to provide broadband e-learning-services for rural and isolated areas in thirteen countries all over Europe. It is aimed to support the development of a "digital" culture in rural areas and to support formal and informal learning activities by various e-learning applications and scenarios in different learning contexts such as schools, workplaces and homes.

- Aim: The aim of this study is to identify and discuss the challenges when transferringevaluation methodology and practice from one cultural context to another.Approach: TheAsia-Link project Asia eBIT aimed to develop and implement a 3-year online externalBachelor program in ICT in Sri Lanka. An important part of the project is recurringevaluations of several different aspects of the program. Information has been obtained byquestionnaires, interviews, field visits, focus groups and expert evaluations, conducted faceto face and online.Findings: The structural differences of the educational systems amongpartners created a number of challenges, such as: organizational aspects of educationalactivities, didactic practice, learning culture in traditional education and online courses, staffresponsibilities and duties, the financial model, language and other cultural issues. Majorchallenges mainly concern the interviews and have been three-fold: 1) getting students totalk; 2) when they talk - overcoming the language barrier; and 3) getting students to honestlyspeak their minds. This process has been a requirement in order to produce usableevaluations at the same time as it is part of the ongoing evaluation itself.Conclusions: Thefindings in this study further the understandings of the complexity when conductingevaluations across different cultural contexts. This understanding is important in order toperform high quality evaluations and should be part of any evaluators’ skills when facingsimilar challenges. This is a unique study on evaluation approaches of Sri Lankan online ICTprogram.
