Abstract

Background. In the era of globalization, cross-cultural communication skills have become increasingly essential due to the rise in intercultural interactions. As societies become more interconnected, the ability to effectively communicate and collaborate across cultures is vital. This research emphasizes the importance of fostering multicultural competence and enhancing cross-cultural communication skills through technology-based learning programs. Purpose. The study aims to explore how ubiquitous learning can improve multicultural competence and cross-cultural communication skills. It seeks to understand the impact of technology-driven learning on enhancing participants' ability to navigate and engage in diverse cultural contexts. Method. A mixed-methods design was employed, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews. The participants included students from various cultural backgrounds. The quantitative data were collected through pre- and post-intervention surveys to assess changes in cross-cultural communication skills, while qualitative data were gathered through interviews to capture in-depth insights into the participants' experiences and perceptions of the learning program. Results. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in participants' cross-cultural communication skills, with scores increasing from 65 before the intervention to 82 after the intervention. The qualitative analysis revealed positive themes, such as increased cultural understanding and greater self-confidence in interacting with people from diverse backgrounds. Conclusion. The study concludes that a holistic and collaborative learning approach can have a profound impact on improving multicultural competence. The research highlights the effectiveness of technology-based learning in fostering cross-cultural communication skills and making educational curricula more inclusive and relevant to the needs of participants in a multicultural environment. This study contributes to the development of more inclusive educational programs that better equip students to engage in global and multicultural contexts.

Abstract

The introduction of dark mode as a default option on all major mobile platforms has sparked considerable debate regarding its impact on user experience and visual comfort. We employed a mixed-method approach through an online survey (n=215), a controlled experiment (n=45), and heuristic evaluation of 12 popular mobile apps to assess user preferences and display mode impacts on visual comfort. Survey findings indicated that 68.4% preferred dark mode, mainly due to increased visual comfort and decreased eye strain in low-light environments. The experimental part used within-subject design to show significant differences in subjective comfort ratings (p<0.05) and reading performance across different ambient lighting conditions for various display modes. Heuristic evaluation uncovered critical design issues including optimization of contrast ratio, consistency in the color palette as well as compliance with accessibility standards. Results indicate that the application of dark mode should be context-aware considering ambient light, type of content, and personal sensitivity to vision changes. Our results provide evidence-based recommendations for mobile application designers and contribute to literature regarding visual ergonomics within mobile HCI.
