Students’ Grade
Conclusions
• The utilization of webinar as an OpenCourseWare for UT’s students is beneficial
• Webinar tutorial is efficient to be implemented for students who reside out of Indonesia (Low Cost)
• Intensive interaction through chat, video, and audio
• Webinar tutorial is effective (all of the students pass the final exam)
• Unfortunately, the infrastructure is not optimal yet which often leads to technical constraints
Suggestions
• Further research from the perspective of the students should be conducted, especially in determining the courses that be best supported by webinar tutorial
• The infrastructure elements; such as the bandwidth of the internet connection in Indonesia is also important to be improved
