With the cultural diversity that exist in Indonesia, then the existing culture must be preserved because the culture is a very important element in representing the personality of a country. There is a tendency that Indonesian young generation do not recognize their cultures. "Desa Maya Budaya Indonesia" (DayaBaya) : Virtual Village with Indonesian Culture-is a game developed to introduce Indonesian culture to young generation. This game simulates a virtual village located in a region in Indonesia that can be developed according to the player's desires and wishes. The simulation will help young generation to know various cultures of Indonesia at the early stage. This game has also been tested on 48 students from Vocational High School,and a result from this experiment shows that the game improves user's knowledge about cultures.

The nature of Indonesian Government spreads over 70 sectoral and 530 regional government agencies in a very vast geographical area. Hence, to maintain the quality of government services (G2G, G2B, G2C) post such a challenge. These services still scattered among government agencies with silo system. A lot of resources being waste, synchronization is lacking, and interoperability is impossible. Over all government performances are declined and bureaucracy reform is slowing down. This study proposes cloud-based e-government architecture. The architecture consists of six layers: user, access, service, management, virtualization, and infrastructure layers. The access layers accommodate various technological access devices in order to widening users' access. Initial experimental result shows that the implementation of cloud-based e-government architecture can improve cost-saving of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) investment.

This current study investigates the use of online role-playing, in an online discussion forum, in learning the community of inquiry framework – an area of learning covered in the Computer-Aided Instruction (CAI) course, an elective course for Computer Science undergraduate students at Universitas Indonesia. The participants were divided into different roles. Each group was triggered to discuss the implementation of online collaborative learning. A mixed-methods approach was utilised to analyse the qualitative and quantitative data. The result of content analysis exhibited students implementing all the components of the CoI framework. Teaching presence was the rarest, as students were focused on delivering their ideas. Social presence appeared in almost all messages since it is the easiest, and students can feel the impact immediately. The discussion moved to the integration phase but did not proceed to resolution. This study suggested some recommendations and future research topics.
