Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB), Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS), holds a Learning Management System (LMS) Workshop to support Teaching and Learning Process (PBM), attended by FEB UNS lecturers, on Monday, 29 December 2025, at UNS Tower. This event is organized as part of efforts to improve the quality of digital-based learning at FEB UNS.

The Vice Dean for Academic and Research Affairs of FEB UNS, Prof. Tri Mulyaningsih, S.E., M.Si., Ph.D., in her opening remarks emphasizes the importance of implementing the Learning Management System (LMS) as a key strategy to support the achievement of UNS Key Performance Indicators (IKU). Prof. Tri explains that although various terms are commonly used in digital learning practices, such as Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), the official use of the term LMS at FEB UNS aligns with provisions stipulated in the Rector’s Regulation.

The LMS is regarded as an integrated digital platform that not only supports the delivery of course materials but also facilitates class administration, synchronous and asynchronous communication between lecturers and students, as well as learning assessment processes. Furthermore, Prof. Tri encourages lecturers not to focus solely on meeting administrative targets in LMS utilization, but to use it as a medium for instructional innovation. According to her, effective use of the LMS can assist lecturers in creating learning processes that are more interactive, diverse, and engaging for students.

In her presentation, she also highlights the importance of lecturer creativity and an understanding of pedagogical theory in addressing learning challenges in the digital era, including distractions related to mobile phone use in the classroom. Lecturers are expected to design learning strategies that promote active student engagement to maintain focus and sustained attention to the learning materials.

The workshop also presents examples of good practices in LMS utilization, management of online courses, and opportunities for the development of digital-based learning, including the expansion of online learning through micro-credential schemes. With optimal LMS support, FEB UNS reaffirms its commitment to continuously improve the quality of the teaching and learning process in ways that respond to technological developments and student needs. Through this activity, FEB UNS expects lecturers to become increasingly prepared and competent in integrating digital technology into instruction, while contributing to the improvement of sustainable higher education quality.

This workshop aligns with the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4 (Quality Education) through the improvement of digital-based learning quality, as well as SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) by encouraging the use of information technology in higher education.
