Abstract

This article aims to find out the perceptions of tutors regarding the course material for an online tutorial, that has been
provided by the Information System study program at Universitas Terbuka. As a new study program, it is necessary
to evaluate the quality of those course materials presented on an online tutorial, in order to provide precise and updated
materials. The online tutorial materials consist of several items: namely the Rancangan Aktifitas Tutorial (RAT),
Satuan Aktifitas Tutorial (SAT), essential concepts, topics of a discussion forum, the question of practices, and
assignments. This article is written using a quantitative descriptive approach. Respondents are tutors, who have
teaching experience and a background of expertise in information systems and technology, for about 300 respondents.
Data was collected in the periods of 2021/22.2 and 2022/23.1. Respondents have filled out the survey instrument that
consists of all aspects related to the presentation of essential concepts, topics of a discussion forum, and assignments.
The results of the analysis show that for the periods of 2021/22.2, 95.63% of tutors agreed and strongly agreed that
all of the aspects of online course material are good enough. As for the 2022/23.1 period, 96.94% of tutors agreed
and strongly agreed that all of the aspects of online course material is good enough. There was an increase of about
1.31%. Several notes from tutors are to be followed up by the study program so that the implementation of online
tutorials, especially for the Information System Study Program can run better in the coming semester.
