Abstract
The paper explores how the Internet can be used to enhance the quality
of teaching and learning in Pacific Islands studies. It does so with
reference to an experimental web-based interactive module that linked
classes at University of Hawai'i and Canterbury University in fall 2000 as
part of the Ford-funded project, Moving Cultures: Remaking Asia-Pacific
Studies. The paper argues that such interactive pedagogies can be used
to redress some of the power imbalances apparent in the field of study
and help accelerate an ongoing process of decolonization.
