| Framework | Students or staff members having no previous knowledge of VCL-based settings. Variety of different ICT-Tools. |
| Solution | E-Tutors can serve as mediators and are trained by previous training sessions. Also, there should be sessions, which are tackling cross-cultural differences to understand international members and their backgrounds better.
