The synergy between industry and educational institutions must be maintained to advance education in Indonesia. To strengthen the synergy between industry and educational institutions, the government launched the Freedom to Learn-Independent Campus program through the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology. However, there are still numerous challenges to be overcome in practice. One of them is the condition that existed during the Covid 19 pandemic. In such cases, technology is one of the solutions that can be used to ensure that the educational process runs smoothly. This study is a descriptive study based on a literature review. Selecting topics, exploring, determining research focus, determining data sources, reading library sources, collecting research data, processing research note data, and compiling research results comprised the research design. Editing, organizing, and finding data are some of the data collection techniques employed. An interpretive and deductive analysis is the data analysis techniques used. The findings are as follows: 1) The relevance of industry needs and graduate competencies is critical for each educational institution to improve the quality of graduates. The more relevant the industry's needs are to the graduates' competencies, the more likely it is that they will be able to work well. 2) Industry involvement is very important in this freedom-to-learn-independent campus program. This is because the industry is one of the places to focus on developing student competencies for a minimum period of 6 months or more. 3) The role of technology is one of the solutions to answer the challenges of education and the learning process during the pandemic. In this case, technology is divided into 3 aspects, namely information technology, educational technology, and tool/machine technology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
