Digital Transformation

Changes in the use of technology and analog to digital is a form of digital transformation. Digital transformation is needed in modern times like now, because everything is turning digital. In the education sector, digitalization is not spared from technological developments, because it supports changes in the learning system.

Digital systems in Indonesia have been implemented in libraries, usually referred to as digital libraries or e-libraries. The existence of digital transformation makes libraries that used to have to be visited physically, now there is no need anymore because you only need a supporting gadget and internet.

The multifaceted form of transformation of a business or organization starts with human resources and a structured strategy. A form of digital transformation is a form of in-depth transformation of a business and organizational activity, so as to maximize changes and opportunities in the technology mix.

With the digital transformation method, needs and infrastructure and technology emerge which explains that the learning method is referred to as technology that requires infrastructure. This method is also referred to as a strategic and prioritized method to accelerate understanding.

Digital transformation can also be understood as the process of using existing technology with virtualization technology and other media. One of these processes has the aim of improving the entity by bringing about significant changes in characteristics through a combination of computing and communication technologies.

Digital transformation is also an area of opportunity as well as a challenge in the world of education because technological advances are developing rapidly. This happens because humans must constantly follow the flow of technological progress and adapt to the technology itself.

Referring to the world of education, digital transformation is gradually changing old processes and study habits into something new and more effective in the process. The presence of new technology indicates that digital transformation brings fresh air to human life.

Digital transformation also has a big impact in the world of education because it makes learning activities more flexible to implement. The demands of the world of education must always be related to digital transformation because it follows technological developments to improve the quality of education.

Changes in human behavior are also formed due to digital transformation when educating students such as documenting or studying. So it cannot be denied that digital transformation destroys opportunities and challenges for the world of education.

Impact of Digital Transformation

In learning, digital transformation has a very important impact, especially in the world of education in Indonesia. If in the past everyone had to go to school early in the morning by car or study together with friends in the classroom, now there is no need.

People also don't need to listen to the teacher teaching in front of the class, which is an activity that used to be done. Currently, all you have to do is open the gadget and open the class group to check the classroom link or online meeting platforms like zoom.

There are many impacts on the world of education in Indonesia from digital transformation, especially during a pandemic like today. During a pandemic like today, of course, you have to keep your distance and stay at home. So you can rely on digital transformation so that activities can be carried out easily and more economically.

Benefits of Learning Digital Media

There are many benefits in digital learning media such as easy access to learning materials. The existence of a digital system makes you only need to type in the targeted keywords on the existing search engines. After that, automatic search results will appear that match what we expect later.

Digital transformation also makes you save more time and costs, such as when you buy textbooks that are not cheap. With digital transformation you only need to access the ebook on the school's website and download it to study later.

Digital developments also make you save more time if you no longer need to get up early to go to school or go to campus. You only need to get ready at home and open your gadgets to keep up with learning in class.

Owning an e-book through digital transformation makes you more environmentally friendly. This is because by using an e-book you can launch a paperless program that is intended to reduce paper use and protect the environment around you.

Digital media learning can also be easily documented as long as you still keep a copy or have download access. So you can easily document whenever and wherever the learning or book is.

Digital learning is a very suitable choice during the pandemic because this transformation supports online learning which is the choice. Online learning is learning that is carried out to overcome the pandemic during Covid 19.

 

By learning digital media, it allows you to think computationally which is needed in formulating problems and solutions. So that the solution becomes an effective information processing agent in solving problems.
