Profile
The concept of learning in the 21st century demands a highly significant change. It is reasonable as the current generation of learners that the teachers have to nurture is "Net Generation", i.e., those who were born in the era of computer and internet-based information technology. The generation lives in an era where everybody is largely dependent on gadgets or other electronic devices.
Along with the development of science and technology, learning media are also shifting towards the use of technology in learning. Adopting the increasingly varied technologies available, learning can be developed more creatively and attractively. Then, the Ukrida Learning Media Center (PMP) was formed on December 5, 2012, to respond to such developments. The Ukrida’s PMP commits to transforming the learning process by using various supporting technologies and coining the motto "Transforming Learning Through Technology".
Ukrida’s PMP has equipped its conventional learning with electronic-based learning or better known as e-learning. By using the moodle-based learning management system (LMS) technology, lecturers and students can interact outside the classroom anytime and anywhere.
Ukrida’s PMP has also been in cooperation with Google on the "Google Apps for Education" application where all Ukrida lecturers, employees, and students have email facilities with unlimited storage capacity. Ukrida e-learning website is the first in Indonesia integrated with Google applications. By logging into the Ukrida e-learning site, all Google applications are automatically connected and can be used. Ukrida e-learning site is known as the Ukrida Virtual Class (UVC). Ukrida has also applied paperless education through the use of e-books to support the Go Green concept for environmental sustainability. Public lectures by home and overseas experts are also delivered using the Video Conference technology that allows students in several locations of the Ukrida campus to attend lectures simultaneously.
"Transforming learning through technology"
The development of the technology-based learning concept is also supported by facilities in the form of Learning Studio which is a grant awarded by the Development Award Program for Private Universities (PHP-PTS) of the Higher Education Directorate (Dikti) in 2013. It serves a function as a studio for creating learning supporting media, and other learning media. Also, Ukrida’s PMP broadcasts TV streaming, named as Ukrida TV, which can be accessed at www.ukrida.tv.
In addition to electronic media (TV), PMP Ukrida also publishes a print media named as Ukrida newsletter. Ukrida newsletter is the first campus magazine applying Augmented Reality (AR) technology.
Some events that have been held by the Learning Media Center (PMP) are among others:
- Talkshow "Indonesia’s Internet Economy"

- Workshop on "Developing Effective Teaching and Learning Plan"
