• E-Learning: delivery of and access to a collection of learning materials over an electronic medium. Categories of E-Learning: electronic library, electronic publishing, computer-based learning, virtual laboratory, teleconference (Synchronous communication), e-mail discussion & newsgroup (Asynchronous communication) and website. The Computer Laboratory (OSOL/ One School One Computer Laboratory) and Community Access Point (CAP) as useful approach for e-Learning have been given higher political importance to assist better education in Indonesia.

3

Policy and Direction of Research

• Study and research desirable methods to evaluate effectiveness of e-Learning with a point of academic view, and advice guidelines for utilization of e-learning and what national policy for sustainable development support should be. The policy of the Indonesian Government regarding OSOL and CAP can be considered as one step before E-Learning or a kind of conducive environment for better quality of E-Learning.

4

Target Outcome

1. Methods of evaluation and measurement of educational effectiveness of OSOL and CAP

2. Guideline for utilization of e-learning for better education

3. Expected national policy for promotional support for e-Learning

5

OSOL program cover computer, telecommunications infrastructure, application and educational content.

Program of OSOL at the Ministry KOMINFO directed:1. To solve low density of telecommunication infrastructure

and ICT application system/ internet access to students in urban and rural area;

2. To enhance availability and ICT access for school student (junior and senior high schools) to utilize information for teaching learning process with ICT based;

3. To provide ICT skills in school environment.

6

• The Rule of Community Access Point (CAP) or Multipurpose Community Center as a place for interactivity / dialogue.

• A Tele-center often consist of a small room equipped with one or more computers and a long-distance telephone or wireless telephone. A single individual may staff the Tele-centers, and charge a modest fee per hour for use the computer (perhaps one dollar US for Internet Access), fax, photocopying, or long-distance telephone. A national ministry of telecommunication may provide this equipment and its use at a discounted rate to the operator, who often earns enough income to support his/her family.

• Tele-centers telecommunications equipment may be privately owned and operated. These micro-businesses are commonly called “Cyber cafes” and may also sell coffee, tea, and snacks, along with Internet access and other telecommunications services.

7

Objectives• To formulate the model of enhancing e-literacy & e-learning and

earlier familiarization of ICT for school age children.

• To study the impact of the One School and One Computer’s Laboratory (OSOL) program.

• To evaluate the effectiveness of learning teaching process of

computer and internet to students and teachers in schools or universities as Community Access Point (CAP)

• To study and select areas for community access point locations for pilot project Priorities for e-learning implementation.

Basic Concepts

Typical role of ICT (new media) to serve better education through e-learning:

1. More opportunity for Interactivity or dialogue among learners, teachers or lecturers and other educational resources;

2. De-massified: More opportunity to communicate one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-one and many-to-many, among educational community (Mass media only one-to-many);

3. A synchronous: communication and learning process can be taken place beyond time and space

4. Global educational resources: The content of educational materials are unlimited and can be downloaded from everywhere around the world.

Therefore students or learners are not rely basically on local teachers and local library.

9

Basic Concepts

Output / outcome of Learning:

• Cognitive (know): capable of being known, capable of being judicially heard and determined.

• Affective (emotional, attitude): relating to, arising from, or influencing feelings or emotions.

• Conative : act of attempting. The power or an act of striving that may appear as conscious volition or desire or behavior tendencies.

10

Basic Concept

Multimedia Assisted e-Learning• There are 3 components available in Indonesian

education i.e. face to face communication, mostly in the class room and special meeting, using mass media (old media) and “new media” such as ICT, Internet, and mobile technology.

• The typical “new media” are interactivity, de-massified, a-synchronous and unlimited international information sources (Prof. Everett M. Rogers). We may say the essence of new media as “combination” of face to face “communication” (high touch) and mass media.

11

Basic Concept

• The roles of new media (High Tech) gradually increase in Indonesia education after utilizing computer and Internet in the last 10 years.

• Four combinations of “Tech” and “Touch” emerge and it can be an interesting exercise to place the media that we use in our own system in the matrix, with a view to determining whether the technology we are using is really providing that degree of “Touch” that we think our investment should yield. Some examples might clarify this form of categorization:

• Experience in other countries indicates that this will be a mighty tool for education, supporting almost all activities, for study, work and play, but especially for learning. Interconnectivity among individuals and communities, even where they are geographically distributed, with worldwide coverage, across many disciplines, is a huge advantage. Our various education groups will explore Infocom (ICT) capabilities to create "distributed but coordinated activities" for educational purposes.

15

The learner will be able to choose: • - when he or she wants to learn, • - where he or she wants to learn, • - which sources of learning material

around the world suites him or her, • - how he or she wants to learn. • - These choices imply that the future

learner will become increasingly active leaner in the learning process.

16

• Old media, such as books and printed matter, radio and television are still used in E-Learning activities. Gradually, High Level ICT, or New Media, as a result of convergence among Telecommunication modes, computer and Broadcasting, like internet, mobile technology and satellite technology, will merge and combine techniques to allow for easy, inexpensive exchanges of knowledge and instruction. Old media require direct contacts for their effectiveness.

• Face to face interactions usually occur in class room meetings in real time. These are expensive and have a small audience, the class. They can be almost impossible to obtain for remote and isolated areas.

17

New media including OSOL and CAP have several immediate advantages:

• Interactivity of instructors and students all helping each other

• Availability to all users with internet access• Asynchronous so they can be used as needed by many

learners• Unlimited information sources (globalization)• Therefore by using new media, face to face meetings in

real time can be reduced cost substantially and the cost can also be applied to more ICT services.

18

• Students who do not have telecommunication equipment at their home can go to Access Point Tele-centers, or Internet Cafes for both face to face meetings and for interactivity with other students and tutors. They also use new media or High Tech ICT to communicate to the rest of the world to get educational information.

• Our efforts should be directed to serve rural and remote areas so that they can also get access to educational information. Government policies on USO (Universal Service Obligation) to eliminate the Digital Divide have been created via Ministerial Decrees. Telecommunication, Internet, mobile technology and other ICT operations have been regulated by the Indonesia government to give more opportunities for rural and remote users to get better access to educational information (Salatiga alternative school, Samarinda, Batam, Batusangkar, Garut, Etc)

cooperatives (from different offices) to support education in Batam. The initiatives of technical school to serve Internet for neighborhood after school hours.

28

Communities Complementary Special Effort

1. Warnet : Very successful contribution of Warnet to application of ICT in the school; because small number of families having computer at home

2. Poskowanjati in Malang : Women association Jawa Timur contribute significantly to the innovation of using ICT in education

29

Universal Service Obligation

• The key successful of the implementation OSOL and CAP in the school system theoretically can be supported by Government budget for school; USO program, contribution of telecommunication operator to educational sectors.

• The initiatives of community leaders, educators, the owner of ISP together with local government and PT Telkom can contribute to the successful of education in the Rural.

30

• KOMINFO can start with promotion; like OSOL and CAP; local communities will think cost effectives way to solve educational problems, ICT man will try out the new innovation of ICT. The local government should give support to educational institutions.

• Educational achievements as product of the innovation of teaching learning process using ICT should be socialized to the public and mass media to weak up parliament members, high ranking officers to adopt these innovations to become the Blue Print of Educational activities or became national policy of Ministry of Educational to create civil society in Indonesia.
