Abstract
This thesis explores young Ghanaian students’ conceptualizations of and
reactions to a website. In a study that comprises a design evaluation of an online
pen-pal website and usability testing with students, it attempts to determine to
what extent such a website can be used to help African-American and African
children form better perceptions of each other, and how a design of a website. The
approach used first determines what Ghanaian students’ expectations of a pen-pal
website are, and comparing them to that of American students, and then having
them testing it and giving feedback based on their reactions. Suggestions are then
made for future measuring website usability and cross-cultural communication.
