Abstract

The proximity of universities to specific environments or ecosystems creates advantages for developing e-learning courses. E-learning and advances in internet technologies also help to shrink the gap between more remote and less remote universities. Using the example of a recently developed e-learning course on Peatland Ecosystems and Climate Change Science, we explore the impacts of geographic location, advances in ICT, the use of Bahasa Indonesia (as opposed to English), and Indonesian scholarship in an e-learning course. We analyze this through a review and description of the on-line course, comparison to other relevant and thematically related e-learning systems available to users, and from a survey questionnaire to a limited number of participants.
