As e-learning is global mode of education so learners from different backgrounds enrolled in learning management system. Diversity of culture and learning styles should keep under considerations while designing e-learning environment. In this research work e learning cultural factors highlighted by Bentley ET. AL are incorporated to find the learner level. After assignment of level, learner respective Learning Management System is allocated to learner.
