Open Tridharma: A Framework for Digital Openness in Higher Education

Abstract

The quality of higher education in Indonesia does not distribute equally, as observed from various sources of university ranking results. This calls for a solution to narrow the quality gap that leverages digital approaches. In this paper, we propose Open Tridharma, a framework for digital openness in higher education. The framework augments Tridharma, the three pillars of Indonesian higher education (i.e., education, research, and community service), by laying the digital openness foundation. We also provide qualitative analysis and discuss the benefits and challenges of Open Tridharma.
