On Wednesday (September 13th), 88 graduate students from the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of Indonesia (UI) participated in the SCeLE (Student Centered E-Learning Environment)training organized by the Office of Learning Resources (KSDP) UI. The event took place from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. WIB at the KSDP UI Laboratory in Depok.
This activity is a Distance Education Program Development Training which aims to improve the competence of IT-based course instructors in using SCeLE for learning.
The training was opened by the education manager of FMIPA UI, Dr. Dian Lestari, DEA. The presentation on e-learning and SCeLE practicums was delivered by Jati Nantiasa Ahmad, a staff member of the Development Technology Division of KSDP UI.
Based on the training evaluation, participants were satisfied with the training and felt they had benefited from it. However, they felt that the one-day training was insufficient to provide a deeper understanding of e-learning.
SCeLE is an application developed by the University of Indonesia. It includes features available in the University of Indonesia’s e-learning module, including downloading lecture materials, interactive discussions in forums, quizzes, and submitting assignments as files.
With SCeLE, students can communicate with teaching staff and other students online. SCele represents a breakthrough for UI in supporting an active learning environment. Important information such as assignments from teaching staff and course materials can be communicated through SCeLE.
