Pintu Indonesia emulates a search engine and provides access to a range of constructed web-based resources in Indonesian. Students search by entering Indonesian search terms.

The resources are designed at an appropriate level of Indonesian for students in Years 5 to 8, and present information in a wide range of genres such as maps, tables, interviews, data files, news stories, advertisements, images, video etcetera.

Pintu Indonesia has been designed to assist students in their research about Indonesian cultural 'icons' including the Garuda, wayang kulit, Monas, gunung api, the orangutan and more. This object is an important component of another learning object in this series, Pameran, which is an exhibition of Indonesian cultural icons sent from students in Indonesia to a school in Australia. The resources in Pintu Indonesia provide information that is necessary for students to complete the tasks in Pameran.

As an independent learning object, Pintu Indonesia offers resources for students to use in completing learning tasks including a web quest presented in these Teacher Resources.

Where text is spoken, native-speaker sound files are used. English rollover help is provided for more difficult words.
