Chapters
- The event is a socialization of the 2026 Digital Module Utilization Assistance Program for lecturer and staff competency development.
- The program aims to leverage digital modules developed in 2025 to improve educator skills.
- Key stakeholders, including university leaders and program developers, are present.
- The session begins with national anthems and opening prayers, followed by introductory reports.
This chapter sets the context for the program, highlighting its importance in national educational development and introducing the key figures involved.
- The program is designed to optimally utilize the results of digital module development from 2025.
- It aims to facilitate and broaden access to these digital learning resources.
- The initiative seeks to reduce the quality gap in higher education through affirmative policies.
- The program prioritizes educators from disadvantaged, frontier, and outermost (3T) regions to ensure equitable access.
Understanding the program's rationale helps learners appreciate its strategic importance in addressing educational disparities and enhancing the overall quality of higher education.
Providing assistance for digital module utilization, especially for those in 3T regions, is a concrete step to bridge the educational quality gap.
- There are four schemes for utilizing digital modules: Pekerti training, AA training, general lecturer competency, and general staff competency.
- The assistance program primarily covers the cost of issuing completion certificates after successful training.
- A special scheme offers assistance for certificate issuance, prioritizing specific criteria like region and institution type.
- A general scheme allows free access to modules, with participants covering their own certificate issuance fees.
Knowing the different schemes and benefits allows participants to identify the most suitable pathway for their needs and understand what costs are covered.
The assistance program provides financial aid for the certificate issuance fee after completing the training modules.
- The program is guided by regulations concerning lecturer careers, professional certification, and technical guidelines for training.
- The Pekerti and AA training have shifted from fully offline to a blended model: online for theory and offline for practical skills.
- This blended approach aims to make training more affordable, efficient, and flexible.
- Digital modules were developed in 2025 for Pekerti, AA, general lecturer competency, and general staff competency.
Understanding the legal framework and the shift to blended learning explains the program's structure and the rationale behind using digital modules.
The shift from fully offline to a blended online/offline model for Pekerti and AA training makes it more accessible and cost-effective.
- The special scheme (assistance) is for lecturers and staff in universities under the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology (Kemdikti) with specific priorities.
- Prioritization for the special scheme includes regions (3T), institution types (Polytechnics, Academies, etc.), and then Universities/Institutes.
- The general scheme allows direct access to ICE Institute's LMS without going through the Directorate of Resources portal.
- The assistance program specifically covers certificate issuance costs for modules hosted on ICE Institute.
This distinction clarifies who is eligible for the assistance program and how the prioritization ensures equitable distribution of resources.
Lecturers and staff from 3T regions are prioritized for the special assistance scheme.
- Eligibility for the special scheme requires being a permanent lecturer or staff member active in a Kemdikti-supervised institution.
- Specific requirements include having a registered NUPTK/NIDN, not having previously attended Pekerti/AA training, and obtaining approval from institutional leadership.
- Participants must commit to completing the entire training program, including potential follow-up offline sessions.
- The registration deadline for the program is September 13th, with selection and announcement by September 22nd.
Understanding these requirements is crucial for potential participants to ensure they meet the criteria and can successfully apply for the program.
Participants must provide a letter of commitment from their university leadership, acknowledging the need for potential follow-up offline training.
- Participants will use the ICE Institute's Learning Management System (LMS) at lms.icei.ac.id or icei.ac.id.
- Registration requires creating an account using an active email, with activation links sent to the inbox or spam folder.
- The digital module training must be completed within a maximum of three months, with a deadline of November 30, 2026, for the assistance scheme.
- Successful completion of the online module training is a prerequisite for registering for the subsequent offline (skill-based) training, which must be completed within six months.
This section provides practical guidance on how to access the learning platform and navigate the training process, ensuring a smooth learning experience.
Participants need to check their email, including spam folders, for an activation link after registering on the ICE Institute LMS.
- Clarification on eligibility for those who have already completed Pekerti and AA training (can opt for general modules).
- Guidance on obtaining template documents for application requirements.
- Explanation that the certificate from the digital module training is a prerequisite for the offline training, not a direct substitute for Serdos.
- Confirmation that the assistance program covers the online module certificate costs, while offline training costs are borne by the participant or their institution.
Addressing common questions and concerns helps resolve ambiguities and ensures all participants have a clear understanding of the program's details.
A certificate from the digital module training is necessary to register for the offline Pekerti/AA training, which then leads to the final Serdos-qualifying certificate.
Key takeaways
- The Digital Module Utilization Assistance Program is a strategic initiative to enhance educator competencies across Indonesian higher education.
- Participants must carefully review eligibility criteria and application deadlines to successfully join the program.
- The program utilizes a blended learning approach, combining online digital modules with essential offline practical training.
