Hi,

Charles Darwin University in Darwin, Australia has a Yolngu Studies  
(language and culture) program that has some sort of e-learning  
component.  Their website is

http://learnline.cdu.edu.au/yolngustudies/

You need a password to access the "classroom" page, but it might be  
worth contacting the program coordinators to find out what their  
experience has been.
