Encouraging Student’s Soft-Skill by Web-Based EColloquium Learning Approach to Enhance Advance Feedbacks

Abstract

The use of information technology in learning has become a demand for the implementation of modern education. Various patterns of technology integration in learning are proposed to improve optimal learning outcomes. This study aims to develop learning media in the form of web-based e-colloquium to increase students’ soft-skills. This development used research and development method with the ADDIE model (analyzing, designing, developing, implementing, and evaluating). This study found that web-based E-colloquium was feasible to be implemented. In addition, responses obtained from both students and the public show that product implementation provides broad opportunities to develop students’ skills such as communication skills, mental readiness, and public presentation technique skills. This development product contributes to an alternative learning media that could be beneficial for higher education institutions in Indonesia.

Need for Silence, Craving for Communication: The Dyad Digital Education and Soft Skills in an Emerging Economy Context

“…Cost related to the acquisition of digital teaching solutions such as games and specific software (Scherer, Siddiq & Tondeur, 2019) and the dependence on practical activities (Kaarakainen & Saikkonen, 2021) influences how easy the pedagogical approach can be converted in distance learning. Regular e-learning tools can have a wide array of possibilities, from digital textbooks (Lau et al, 2018), to highly interactive activities such as Web-based learning (WBL) (Adi, Kurniawan & Siddik, 2021) and the uses of machine learning-based platforms (Balica, 2018). Therefore it is possible to work on a gradient between the complexity of tool resources and interaction demands, and the gradient is empowered by the perspective of the digital readiness of the millennial generation.…”

“…To achieve a long-lasting and meaningful education, the process must be grounded on discursive, interactive, and reflexivity activities, and this is both a call and also a shortcoming of digital e-learning solutions (Laurillard, 2002). Studies show that digital education can act in both ways, also being successful in fostering the development of general communication skills and mental readiness (Adi, Kurniawan & Siddik, 2021).…”

For example, based on the results of the expert assessment and the feedback from students, which were processed and analyzed based on common tools, the researchers concluded that the electronic platform should be used and used as a teaching aid (Idris et al, 2021). In addition, electronic platforms and resources can be effectively used as tools for harmonization and management of the acquisition of competencies by students of higher education (Idrees et al, 2021).…”
