Abstract

The Open University of Indonesia (Universitas Terbuka, UT) has over 450,000 studentsdistributed across a vast, diverse archipelago. UT will play a central role in meeting therequirement that over 1 million primary teachers earn four-year postsecondary degreesby 2015. While the Open University has considerable capacity in print-based and CD-ROM-based instruction, the university must begin to provide its students with greateronline learning opportunities. In this article we describe the challenges faced by theOpen University in augmenting online instruction. Lessons learned from the university’shistory of print-based distance education, combined with growing experience with onlineinstruction at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, provide a way forward as theOpen University increases online instruction of in-service teachers while maintainingand enhancing efficient, effective, and engaging learning.
