The participants' learning backgrounds vary, and each person's strengths are utilized to encourage learning among and between peers. Multiple perspectives in problem solving and analysis are encouraged to support and respect differences in style, presentation, and ways of knowing.

In this paper, we use images from educational materials and discuss how the four strategies might have found a better way of implementing the content. In addition, we examine each image from a US, Brazilian and Mexican perspective.

These reviews draw together quantitative data reported in a wide variety of sources. By tracking the data over a period of years the authors are able to make some judgments about the direction of change.

Such repositories have the goal of opening access to a wide variety of materials to anyone around the globe. But educational content created in different locations and in different languages needs to be re-built or localized in order to satisfy the requirements of each locale.
