E-learning system introduction: equality in education for teachers in rural area of Indonesia

Teachers are significant asset for education in a country. They are spearhead of educational success and regarded hold important role in achieving education's goal. The success of the students is much more influenced by their teachers. Therefore the teachers are required to have good quality, good moral and enough knowledge to be role model for their students. However, with geographical condition as an archipelago and some other limitations, it is difficult to have equality in education facilities and teachers quality for the whole Indonesia area especially in rural area. In order to resolve the problem, we propose an integrated solution called Equality in Education (Equ-Edu) system that we believe it can improve education equality of the teachers regardless the area they stay in. We are developing this e-learning system with different modes that can suit to various conditions of each area in Indonesia. This paper discusses the description of the system, especially about virtual classroom, in this ongoing research.
