Prospects for Internet-based learning in Indonesia - Sidatajudi, Jakarta Post
I once read an article written by a local education activist proposing the nationwide adoption of Internet-based distance learning to help provide quality tertiary education at a low cost for those living in small towns. Although the idea is very noble, there are some very serious challenges that need to be addressed before we can see Web-based distance learning offered by Indonesian colleges and universities. The first challenge is, of course, the availability of a market for this service. Many universities in the northern hemisphere, where most of the developed countries are located, except perhaps Australia and New Zealand, offer Web-based learning because they have a big potential market for the service. These countries, especially the English-speaking ones, have for many years been the destinations for thousands of students wishing to obtain the kind of quality education they cannot find in their homelands.
