DEVELOPMENT OF A WEBSITE-BASED UNIVERSITAS TERBUKA ALUMNI APPLICATION

Abstract

In a university, alumni have an important role in the subsequent education system, because their experience in utilizing education after graduating can provide input and new ideas for the university. Therefore, it is necessary to collect alumni data, especially for old generation alumni who do not yet have communication facilities between alumni, so media is needed to connect communication between alumni to exchange information and provide input and ideas to the institution. This research aims to develop an alumni website for use by alumni of Universitas Terbuka (UT) Medan, using a development model that takes into account the character of UT Medan, carried out through three stages, namely: (1) pre-development stage, (2) development stage, (3) model implementation stage. From the results of research on the development of the UT Medan alumni website, the following conclusions can be drawn: (1) The UT Medan alumni website does not contain alumni searches, but contains information that can be used by alumni such as educational information, job vacancies, scholarship information; (2) The UT Medan alumni website can establish indirect communication between alumni, especially the latest information on educational developments, job vacancies and scholarships, because there is a menu for exchanging information by users.
