Smart edu design as a 21st century learning system innovation in optimizing one of the roles of universities

Abstract

The development of science and technology is closely related to the quality of higher education. Science and technology innovation is used as a tool to empower communities so that they can develop sustainable development. The survey results at one of Indonesia's private universities showed the low role of universities in schools as their environment. The progress of science in universities is very fast but different from the situation in the environment. This indicates an imbalance in the development of knowledge that occurs in universities with schools. Based on the results of a literature study, the smart edu design is used as an alternative solution in this regard. Smart edu is a managerial learning system innovation adapted from the smart city concept. Features in this program allow students, lecturers and teachers in the field to interact with each other. Students can assess the problem without having to go to the field on the other hand the teacher can assess the solution which is the result of learning between the student and the lecturer. Thus the learning transparency can be built through this system so that the inequality of knowledge development can be overcome.
