In this article, I observe the relational produc- tion of place online through the mobile practices of an e- learning course that combined interactions in physical and online environments. I use actor-network theory as ana- lytical framework to explore element interrelations of this e-learning course, an International Cooperation project or- ganized by Capacity Building International (InWEnt). The course involved participants from African, Asian, Euro- pean, and Latin American countries. This transnational pro- gram included travel from different continents to Germany and South Africa for the participation in face-to-face work- shops as well as online interactions. Face-to-face encoun- ters strongly affected e-learning interactions. I show how course participants introduced face-to-face experiences on- line through associative impulses. I identify these associa- tions that were contributed as texts to online forums as en- actments of Law and Mol's concept of "fire space". Fire spatial impulses functioned as compensatory practices with respect to scarce sensory and symbolic information in online environments. Social cues associated with the sensory and symbolic information from physical spaces that learners in- troduced online highlighted the decisive role of face-to-face social stimuli in the constitution of online places. Results are based on ethnographic participation in the observed e- learning course.
