IMPLEMENTATION OF THE OPEN UNIVERSITY DISTANCE LEARNING SYSTEM IN MAMASA CITY

Abstract

Distance learning provides various patterns and programs to serve the community's needs and develop and encourage innovation across multiple learning processes with various learning resources. Public trust, government confidence, and legislators about the real benefits and contributions of distance learning in helping to educate the nation are explicitly stated in the legislation, namely the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 20 of 2003 concerning the National Education System. The tenth part of Article 31, paragraph 2, states that distance education provides educational services to community groups who cannot attend face-to-face or regular schooling. Educational programs that are always needed and ready to be selected can be selected so that they are genuinely relevant to personal and community needs they can overcome all academic problems. Distance learning provides the opportunity to learn on your own independently. Students are free to determine when to start when to finish, and which part of a module they want to know first. Distance learning is implemented in a web-based online way without leaving face-to-face activities. The product of the planning stage is a distance education project plan that can guide this stage of the distance education process. The coordinator arranges the implementation of distance learning even in the exam clinic, which officers have determined in each district. This will then be informed by the study group management so that all information can be conveyed to students, especially in Mamasa city.
