Administrative and academic services are two very important aspects in improving the quality of education in a higher education institution. Among the challenges in delivering academic services to students are the strengthening and development of study program curricula, as well as the utilization of information and communication technology in learning.

The 2018 Lecturer Mobilization Program is a program organized by the Ministry of Research, Technology, and Higher Education for higher education institutions in Indonesia.

The Expert Lecturer Mobilization Program is aimed at:

  1. Improving the quality of learning and teaching materials for specific courses at target higher education institutions (Pertisas) through mentoring and training processes conducted by expert lecturers (DP-A) from source higher education institutions (Pertisum).
  2. Enhancing the academic climate for research/community service and the skills of Pertisas lecturers in preparing research and community service (PPM) proposals, implementing PPM, preparing PPM reports, and writing scientific articles from PPM activities through mentoring and training processes conducted by DP-A from Pertisum.
  3. Equipping and perfecting various institutional instruments at Pertisas through mentoring and training processes conducted by DP-A from Pertisum.
  4. Building an environment conducive to the implementation of academic life on the Pertisas campus;
  5. Building cooperative networks between Pertisas and various other institutions, including the Pertisum of the DP-A.

With this 2018 Lecturer Mobilization Program, it is hoped that it can help improve the quality of education in higher education institutions, particularly the D4 Plantation Crop Cultivation Study Program at POLITAP, through Curriculum Strengthening and Development activities as the main step and foundation for curriculum revision, as well as activities in the Formulation and mentoring of information and communication technology utilization in learning, to prepare qualified educators/lecturers in the Plantation Crop Cultivation Study Program.
