The adaptation of the user interface is present in several areas, reaching to embrace virtual learning environments. One possible source of adaptation could be based on the student´s cultural profile. People from diverse countries have dissimilar cultures and interact with the user interface in different way, prefer graphic designs, and have expectations and behavior patterns. Therefore, the user interface should be adapted to the needs of each geographical location to provide optimal user experience. This paper presents a preliminary adapting model for interface according to the cultural profile of the user / student, specifically in a ubiquitous environment for collaborative learning.
