Abstract

One of the Merdeka Learning programs at Merdeka Campus is the implementation of Credit Earning activities. The credit earning system can be applied with face-to-face learning and distance learning. The Agribusiness Study Program is conducting credit earning activities with Distance Learning with 4 private universities in West Sumatra. This is also supported by the Covid-19 condition which causes lectures to be conducted online. Activity Distance Learning is carried out in 3 courses in the Agribusiness Study Program, namely Organizational Behavior, Agribusiness Communication, and Gender and Agricultural Development. The purpose of implementing PJJ is to provide opportunities for other tertiary students to gain experience studying in the Agribusiness Study Program, Faculty of Agriculture, Andalas University, to encourage the team of course supervisors at the Agribusiness Study Program to develop and administer unique and quality PJJ courses. The learning method used is a combination of virtual synchronous and asynchronous virtual. For the virtual synchronous method, zoom meeting and whatsapp group platforms are used, while for the virtual asynchronous method, it is done using the ilearn platform. The generally applied learning methods are student center learning such as: small group discussion, case based learning, class discussion in general, PJJ activities went well. The results of the evaluation that have been carried out show that partner students can easily attend lectures held at the Agribusiness Study Program. There is a slight difference in learning methods between the Agribusiness Study Program and the university of origin, but the activeness of students in following the learning materials and assignments is still low. This PJJ lecture program needs to be continued with several improvements, including: 1). Improved coordination between home universities, study programs, and course lecturers. 2). It is necessary for each course to socialize the rules of lectures and RPS to PJJ students, 3). PJJ lectures are better done not only with private universities around West Sumatra but also with other equal state universities.
