This paper examines the experiences of Universitas Terbuka (UT), which has initiated and implemented an innovative strategy of quality assurance (QA) for continuous improvement. The credo of the UT quality assurance system is "We write what we do. We do what we write. We check. We improve continuously!" Implementing a quality management system at the UT, a mega-university with a student body of more than a quarter of a million and which involved a network of participating institutions and regional centres, was a formidable task to accomplish. To achieve its lofty goal, UT adopted and contextualised the draft of the Asian Association of Open Universities (AAOU) QA Framework to launch its own quality assurance program. This has taken a great deal of commitment and participation of all staff involved. QA at the UT required systematic and step-by-step processe...

DE advances in line with technological advancements, and DE generations often correspond to the pre-and post-Internet eras. This classification also affects and prescribes the learning environment required to ensure the educational and learning process' effectiveness. The pre-Internet period of DE was marked by a vast physical infrastructure, including a physical network of regional, local offices, and learning centers, as was widely implemented by distance teaching universities. Soft infrastructure, such as a digital learning environment, characterizes the ODDE in the Internet era. Despite the differences in ODDE infrastructure before and after the Internet, library services and a quality assurance system have always been essential components of the ODDE system. The global open movement has had an impact

Design/methodology/approach-The instrument was developed through the following steps: (1) developing the draft, (2) checking the instrument's face validity and (3) testing the instrument's validity, reliability and discriminant capacity using PLS analysis. Findings-The study has developed a tool to self-assess high school students' readiness for independent online learning. The instrument consists of 36 statement items and is statistically proven to have good reliability, construct and indicator validity and a discriminating power. Research limitations/implications-The instrument items were designed to fit the context of Indonesian high school students. However, only responses from high school students in rather urban areas were used to test the validity and reliability of the instrument. This could imply that the instrument is only accurate in urban settings. Practical implications-As a result of the research, a tool to assess high school students' readiness for independent online learning has been created. To better prepare students for independent online learning endeavors, the school might use the results to enhance areas that need improvement. Originality/value-The study succeeded in developing a contextualized self-assessment tool for measuring Indonesian students' independent online learning readiness.

The study was designed to facilitate learners-content interactions by developing interactive digital content termed as Interactive Digital Materials (IDM). This study aims at exploring the learnercontent interaction in the context of online learning environment, to see how students use the IDM, and whether there is any pattern in how students interact with the content within the IDM. The digital learning material that was used in the study was defined as self-contained and interactive learning material that consists of text-based materials enriched with illustrations and videos. The study used one Universitas Terbuka's graduate course (Design and Model of Innovative and Interactive Instructions or MPDR 5203). The observation of the learner-content interaction was done through two approaches: (1) the IDM was provided through a web-based Learning Management System (LMS) and students were expected to read the IDM online and (2) the IDM was provided also through an application based LMS that was preinstalled in a computer tablet lent to the student, and students were expected to read the IDM either online or offline. Interaction data was collected electronically through the LMS data analytics.

Tentu bukan putaran planet bumi yang semakin cepat, tetapi perkembangan yang terjadi dalam kehidupan kita. Perkembangan teknologi yang sekarang disebut-sebut tengah mengalami revolusi industri ke-4 telah berimbas ke segala sendi kehidupan kita. Bahkan jauh sebelum itu, perkembangan teknologi secara pasti telah mengubah berbagai dimensi kehidupan kita, baik dalam dunia bisnis, pendidikan, maupun keseharian kehidupan kita. Selama 30 tahun lebih berkecimpung dalam dunia pendidikan jarak jauh, penulis menyaksikan secara langsung berbagai perubahan yang terjadi yang disebabkan oleh perubahan dan perkembangan teknologi khususnya teknologi informasi dan komunikasi, mulai dari era televisi dan radio yang bersifat satu arah hingga berbagai media komunikasi yang kini berbasis Internet dan bersifat interaktif. Untuk pendidikan jarak jauh yang bertumpu pada penggunaan teknologi dan media dalam pembelajarannya, perkembangan teknologi tentu...

Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimen semu dengan post-test only control group design. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pembelajaran dengan menggunakan video lebih tinggi dibanding dengan menggunakan media pembelajaran konvensional. Adanya hubungan sikap ilmiah terhadap hasil belajar IPA secara signifikan. Tidak terdapat hubungan antara media pembelajaran dan sikap ilmiah siswa terhadap hasil belajar IPA. Implikasi dari penelitian ini adalah guru harus ditekankan harus meningkatkan kreativitas dan inovatif dalam penggunaan media pembelajaran sehingga siswa lebih tertarik dan menarik ketika dalam proses belajar.

This study investigates the national quality assurance systems for distance education at the higher education level in Asia with the aim of contributing to a better understanding of the current level of development of quality assurance in Asian distance education and to offer potential directions for policy makers when developing and elaborating quality assurance systems for distance education. The analysis of the existing quality assurance frameworks in the 11 countries/territories selected reveals that the level of quality assurance policy integration in the overall national quality assurance in higher education policy framework varies considerably. The purpose of quality assurance, policy frameworks, methods, and instruments in place are generally tailored to each country’s particular circumstances. T...

In accordance with this, the project is aimed at determining, (1) whether the use of ICT within the UT system will address problems of student learning satisfaction and course completion rates and (2) what institutional policies need to be put in place for the project results to be effectively implemented on a system-wide basis for UT. Specific research objectives include (1) investigating whether students have access to and are willing to take advantage of the ICT-supported academic services (hereafter termed as online services), which include online supplementary learning materials, online tutorials, online counseling, online academic administrative services, etc.; and (2) testing whether student participation in online tutorials increase their course completion rates and their learn...
