VIRTUAL REALITY-BASED LEGAL PROFESSION MOOCS PROGRAM

Abstract

The era of technological disruption requires everyone and group to be able to adapt and make changes from habits that have become routine. Such rapid and rapid change not only has a positive impact but also gives birth to problems that can no longer be solved in the old way. Looking at the reality of modern-day society, the need for legal professionals is one aspect that must be met. Therefore, the implementation of legal education, which is based on academics alone, must begin to be addressed in order to meet the demands of community needs. Vocational- based education by providing legal professional certification programs must begin to be initiated by the Law Study Program Universitas Terbuka. The certification program is carried out digitally (moocs) by presenting professionals from legal practitioners such as lawyers, mediators and legal auditors. In its implementation, this legal profession certification program collaborates with legal profession organizations such as the association of lawyers, mediators associations and indonesian legal auditors associations that have the legality to issue legal profession certificates. The certification program is not only an asynchronous application but also supported by virtual reality, with the aim of making the course process look more real and providing a physical experience to participants without having to be in the real practice room.
