the business world , industries
and other agencies who have
competencies in their

respective areas . For courses

in economics, for example, UT
can invite the nationally-
renowned economists from

Gajah Mada University as its
course writers in economics.

Experts from the business
world or other agencies can

also contribute to the
development of learning

UT non-printed learning materials materials in their respective
fields . Generally, UT learning

materials have been developed by invited experts from prominent national higher
education institutions such as Universitas Indonesia (VI), lnstitut Teknologi

Bandung (/TB), Universitas Gajah Mada (UGM) , lnstitut Pertanian Bogar (IPB) ,
and lnstitut Keguruan dan 1/mu Pendidikan or Teacher's Colleges that have now

become comprehensive universities.
In order to produce quality learning materials , there are systematic steps to

take. The activity begins with a workshop on module writing. As the printed
modules are new content to be used as the main learning resources at UT,

various aspects of module writing are discussed during the workshop , such as
content, format, structure of the module, and design presentation of the learning

materials. Besides, UT also develops multi-media learning materials such as
audio/video recordings, radio/TV broadcasts, computer-aided learning, and

internet-based learning.
