Australia Education Exhibition tour in Indonesia 2009




This year IDP (The Australia Education Organization) held their annual Australia Education Exhibition tour in Indonesia. It involved more than a dozen Australian universities such as James Cook University, Flinders University, University Technology Sydney, University of Western Australia, University of Melbourne, TAFE, and many more. This year, the event was conducted in 5 different big cities include Jakarta-Bandung-Balikpapan-Makasar-Denpasar which took approximately 2 weeks travels. The purpose of this event is to facilitate the Australian universities to promote their programs, open application, and gain prospective students.

This year, Ms Neha Sen (International Marketing Staff of James Cook University) was the representative from JCU. Along the trip she was not alone, she assisted by a number of JCU Alumni include Ristianto Pribadi (Jakarta), Iskandar and Irfani Baga (Bandung), Ghitarina Hasbi (Balikpapan), Aryadi Arsyad & Yulia Arsyad (Makasar), and Maulita Sari Hani (Bali). These alumni assisted her by being an interpreter and also share their study experience in JCU. Neha Sen was very happy with this assistance because her job has become a lot easier especially in dealing with the Indonesians.

Particularly in Bali, The Australia Education Exhibition was held in Sanur Paradise Plaza Hotel on the 25th May 2009. There were not a lot of Australian universities that participated on that day; from that I noted, there were only 14 universities involved. Nevertheless, I (Lita), felt very pleased to be there and assisted Neha Sen because it was a wonderful opportunity to meet her as well as the prospective students. During 5 hours exhibition (13.30-18.30 wita) we only had 7 visitors that came. These people were came from Marine and Fisheries Department, Udayana University, UNDIKSA, and the rests of them were some senior high school students. These Prospective students were interested to study Marine Sciences, Tourisms/Ecotourisms, and Nursing at James Cook University as the leading university for Marine Sciences, Environmental Sciences, and Tourisms. Neha Sen was very passionate to explain in details about these programs. I, as a Graduated student from tourism study also help me a lot easier to explain to the visitors about the tourism programs and its educational system, moreover I also promoted PPIA JCU (Indonesian Student Association) as the student and community group that supports and assists the Indonesian students to feel more like home.

Anang Syamsunihar in his JCU tie

cerita singkat (sumber: mailing list Alumni JCUISA):

Foto di atas adalah yang terbaik yang bisa saya kirimkan hasil jepretan fotografer panitia kegiatan Pengelolaan e-Learning Menggunakan Software DOKEOS di UNISMA, Malang pada 3-4 Juli 2008. Sayang sekali, meski saya sudah merasa ngganteng pakai dasi JCU, tapi ternyata di foto tidak begitu terekspose. Duh.....!!!

Tapi saya nggak menyesal, karena kegiatan berjalan lancar. Dan lebih dari itu, sukses pelaksanaan dengan tersedianya 80 % mata kuliah di web dengan tingkat keaktifan peserta didik mengakses matakuliah relatif tinggi (~60 %), adalah hal yang sangat membahagiakan.

Saya memberikan bimbingan e-learning di UNISMA sejak akhir 2006 ketika mereka mendapatkan PHK A-2, berlanjut sampai 2008 dengan dana PHK INHERENT K-1. Kegiatan pembimbingan dilaksanakan setiap libur akhir semester. Total saya berkunjung ke Universitas Islam Malang dalam rangka kegiatan membangun sistem pembelajaran e-learning ini adalah 5 kali, ditambah satu ekstra pelatihan untuk pesantren yang bermitra dengan Univ. tersebut menggunakan dana PHK BLOCK GRANT.

Begitu dulu yach, ceritanya. Siap-siap mau mengajar Teknologi Informasi untuk semester pendek program beasiswa unggulan nich.....!

Ahhhh.....andai kutahu kalo akan kebagian mata kuliah sampingan begini, mungkin dulu aku nggak ambil botany di JCU, tetapi menemani Pak Ifan dan Pak Mursalim ya.....?
