Abstract

Quallity Assurance (QA) in Higher Education has an important role in maintaining and managing the quality of its system. Universitas Terbuka (UT) as the only open distance learning (ODL) system in Indonesia has struggled to build its quality assurance system. Started in 2005, UT using ISO 9001 (quality management system) to manage the operational process in UTs’ head office and 36 regional offices. The use of ISO 9001 has a significant result to maintain its quality. However, a thorough recognition of the quality of academic activities and in managing non-academic can not be performed well when only using the ISO 9001 standard. UT requires getting an accredition from a national accreditation board in Indonesia for higher education which is called Badan Akreditasi National (BAN-PT). Besides that, UT as a member of Asian Association for Open University (AAOU) has to consider the AAOU Statements of Best Practices which was launched by the AAOU in the end of 2010. From the existing references of standard of QA, UT started to build a new QA system by combining and integrating all existing statements of quality. The results obtained are of the 10 standards covering policy and planning, human resources, internal management, learner and Learners' profile, program design and curriculum development, course design and development, learner support, infrastructure, media and learning resources, learner assessment and evaluation, and research and community services with 120 statements of best practices. Implementation of this new QA system will contribute to the process of maintaining the UT’s quality.
