Abstract – Higher education in the future is faced with
competition that emphasizes the role, innovation and
use of information and communication technology,
integration between universities and society, industry
and corporations cannot be ignored anymore. Learning
innovation is a must for universities. The Global Sector
that has an impact on the internal and external elements
of the university. The purpose of making this learning
framework is to give an overview, reference and assist
higher education in facing the impact of the 4.0 higher
industrial revolution in which the role of information
technology, regulations, facilities and infrastructure,
budget and university management are the basic capital
that must be fulfilled. Besides that online learning,
virtual learning, social learning, open learning and
blended learning become a necessity and necessity in the
era of the industrial revolution where adjusting learning
materials and curriculum with industry and
corporations is highly recommended. With the hope of
graduates having soft skills, ethics and critical thinking,
cultured and global minded and innovative.

education
I. INTRODUCTION
E-Learning is a type of teaching and learning that
allows the delivery of teaching materials to students by
using a medium of Internet, Intranet and other computer
network media. [1]. While of The new Social Learning is
the most authoritative guide available to take advantage of
new technology developments that are very strong at this
time. [2]. In addition to social learning there is virtual
learning which in its application virtual learning can
contribute to efforts to improve the quality of learning.[3].
Blended learning is an interactive learning method that
combines online and classroom learning activities, using
resources maximally to improve student learning outcomes.
[4]
The industrial revolution era 4.0 focuses on data
management, work systems through technology,
communication and work efficiency improvements related
to human resources. Data is the main requirement of Higher
Education in the decision making process supported by
unlimited computing power and data storage systems.
Higher Education as a formal institution is expected to be
able to print competent human resources with technological
progress. Graduates who are able to adapt and have a
dynamic mindset are challenges for Higher Education.
It is inevitable that higher education must apply
information technology-based lecture systems to achieve
higher education that is quality and able to compete
globally. The rapid development of Information
Technology, all digital activities must be a special concern
for higher education, especially in Information Technology-
based learning to support industry 4.0. The winner in
industry 4.0 is not a country that has a population and large
area but a country that has innovation, creativity and ability
in the field of technology in all aspects of higher education
services.
The existence of internet and online technology, the
nature of competition between universities has changed and
discruptive innovation has become a very serious threat for
universities if universities are not able to follow and
implement technology done by humans to be a work done
by computers. Discruptive University is one of the future

university where new digital business models that are
technology will replace traditional universities and artificial
information into alternatives that will replace the work done
by humans. A person's portfolio can be seen from the skills
they have no longer from scholarships and casual workers.
To deal with competition in the technological age and
the number of higher education that conducts learning
conventionally and has not implemented digital learning in
the 4.0 industrial revolution era, this paper the author wants
to know the learning that must be applied by higher
education in the era of industrial revolution.
II. RELATED WORKS
Learning models that still use conventional methods
in the form of lectures are less effective in learning when
applied in class with a large number of students because
some of them do not show lecturer talk, talk to themselves
with friends, lecturers are less than optimal in watching and
paying attention to students.
In the industrial era 4.0 it allows virtual classrooms
where the conditions of lecturers and students are in
different places at the same time and the lecturer can store
lecture material to be watched or aired in the future.
Learning activities like this are carried out through the use
of virtual media for meeting tools. They can study in class
if there are topics that are very difficult or complicated so it
needs special meetings with lecturers in the classroom. [5]
Higher Education must be managed flexibly without
getting caught up in routines, the development of artificial
intelligence (AI) -based technology, machine learning and
bots that are widely adopted by startups globally to replace
human tasks, roles and jobs and make jobs better and faster.
These changes have an impact in terms of function, creating
higher education institutions that change in a system and the
existence of big data provides a distinct advantage for
universities. But the progress factor of the nation one of
them is influenced by the education factor where the role of
universities to create reliable graduates with ideas, ideas,
innovation and creativity is in the hands of the higher
education.
In the past year, a number of reports on research on
Driscruptor University produced proposals available in the
literature. For example, [Richard Cawood, Jenny Rache,
Dev Sharma et al. 2018], Looks like in figure 1 explain
to Global forces Impacting the university sector. [6]
Proposed the University of today lead framework
Learning for tomorrow, the university of the futurer is
shown in Figure 1. The global forces of the Impacting the
university sector consist of [6] :
1) Changing word of work is that human activities will be
replaced by robots and machines so there needs to be a

The 1st 2018 INAPR International Conference, 7 Sept 2018, Jakarta, Indonesia
change in learning systems based on Artificial
Intelligence technology and integration between
Universities and the industrial world. in the Industry 4.0
era many sophisticated tools emerged that adopted the
intelligence of the human brain. The work that was
originally done by humans was replaced by robots with
sophisticated machines
2) Blurring Industry boundarfes requires university
collaboration on research, curriculum, design and job
placement (university and industry collaboration).
3) Evolwing digital behaviors, universities implement
digitalisation of learning by promoting services to
students because activities will shift to the world of
digital, WEB, cellular, social learning and virtual
learning
4) Incrasing Internatioal competition, where universities
must be able to compete globally and continue to strive
to become winners globally. Increased cross-country
connectivity enables cross-continental citizens to
communicate, connect, without significant constraints so
that universities must prepare adaptive education for
change.
5) Rise of Continuos learning requires universities to create
self-directed, affordable and easy learning. With the
internet facilities all learning can be done easily
anywhere and anytime, through e-learning students
quickly and easily find lecture material content. Lecture
material becomes more complete and dynamic so as to
create the creativity and imagination of students to
continue to access information sources

Higher education is undergoing major changes and
transformations so that higher education is more accessible,
to more people, in more places, and more ways than ever
before in human history. [7]. The industrial revolution 4.0 is
described as the result of integration and compounding
effects of several "exponential technologies," namely
artificial intelligence (AI), biotechnology and
228
nanomaterials. An example is synthetic development
organism (the life of DNA made in computers and bioprint)
produced using a robotic assembly line, there are
nanomaterials increase production efficiency [8]. The
thoughts presented by them in a book entitled "Higher
Education in the Era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution"
are as follows :
a) An Ethical Imperative for our New Human Condition.
Education in the era of industrial revolution must be
able to produce graduates who have ethical thinking
and kriits and are able to advance material culture with
sustainable technology. To create this, an academic
curriculum that emphasizes creativity, soft skills such
as work navigation, work ethics, innovation integrated
technology and team work and collaboration within
students is needed because there will be more work in
the technology sector based on artificial intelligence,
machine learning, robotics, nanotechnology, 3D
printing, genetics and biotechnology.
b) New Elements to the Curriculum
With the industry revolution 4.0 expanding the use of
AI, it is necessary to have new guidelines in the
theoretical basis for digital pedagogy and digital
education without limits to be a priority so that the
contents of the curriculum must be able to assist
students in solving problems and integrated with
human life and industry.
c) New Sequencing of Education to Renew Skills
Graduates are equipped with skills tailored to the world
of industry and corporations, combining learning with
life experiences, students are directly involved in the

There are so many challenges that must be faced by
universities, especially the application of technology that is
in accordance with the times, it .is not taken seriously, the
university is left behind and will be left by students
III. METHOD
Referring to references above, the writer can explain
that the impact of industry 4.0 on universities both
externally and internally is seen in terms of technology and
information systems as follows [6, 7, 8, 22, 23, 24] :
1. Assets consisting of technology, facilities, equipment,
regulation, budgetig and management university.
2. Human resources owned by universities start from
leaders, lecturers, staff, maintanance, students must
collaborate thoroughly
3. Learning materials and curriculum learning must be
synchronized and continuous evaluation of the
suitability between the two determines the success of
learning
4. Learning Methods consisting of online learning, social
learning, virtual learning, open learning and Blended
Learning.
5. Regulatin, executing and empowering
6. Conducted innovations in accordance with technological
developments and collaboration with the world of
industry.

 From the framework above, it can be seen that the
initial capital in the form of technology, facilities,
equipment, regulation, budget and management support
is the starting point of learning changes from
conventional concepts to the concepts of online
learning, social learning, virtual learning, open learning
and blended learning. Without the initial capital, online
and integrated learning will not be realized. Besides
that human resources also have a very important role,
the readiness of human resources that are reliable
influences changes in learning in the industrial era 4.0.
Material learning and academic curriculum must also
be adjusted to current conditions and the need for
integration with industry and corporations so that
material and academic curriculum can be adjusted and
adapted to industry needs so that the readiness of
universities to face the industrial revolution era 4.0 can
be maximized. And.universities will also be good in
terms of performance and quality and be able to
compete with other universities globally.
IV. STUDY RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
1) Existing Learning problem analysis :
From our observations and based on the
reference paper sources that have been collected,
there are several main problems in learning in
higher education, namely:
a) There are still many universities whose learning
is still done in class and with conventional
methods
b) Student attendance at lecture meetings is still a
mandatory thing.
c) On average, universities still rely on paper less
d) Limited technology components owned by
Higher Education such as servers, personal
computers, computer clients, CCTV, cameras,
audio videos, teleconferences, LCD projectors,
access points, switches, repeaters, Network
Interface Cards, routers
e) Many universities still have low internet
networks
f) Computer devices with relatively low memory
capacity and computers in a computer
laboratory are not balanced with the number of
students available.
g) Human resources with competence in the IT
field are relatively low

The 1st 2018 INAPR International Conference, 7 Sept 2018, Jakarta, Indonesia
h) The budget owned by Higher education is
insufficient to purchase digital technology
devices.
i) Inadequate environment for learning
2) Objective Identification
In general, the main objectives in learning in the 4.0
industrial revolution era in universities are :
a) To create graduates who are able to adapt to
society, the world of industry and the
corporation
b) Creating graduates who have soft skills
c) Creating students who have ethical and critical
thinking who have soft skills
d) Creating students who are globally
competitive
e) Form the character of cultured students
f) Creating students who have innovation in the
development of information technology
3). Recognize Needs
Before recognizing the need, it is necessary to pay
attention to the problem of university management,
whether in terms of higher education management,
existing regulations and funds owned by
universities support maximally. Technology,
facilities and equipment must meet existing
standards, if not, it will be difficult to make
changes. Technology includes hardware and
software owned by universities. Existing facilities
consist of buildings, facilities and infrastructure
while equipment is things that support
learningThese three things must be a top priority in
implementing change.
4). Actor involved
Those involved in system development include
leaders, lecturers, administrative staff, maintanance
and students. The five actors must collaborate and
support each other to create conducive learning. In
terms of human resources, universities must place
labor in accordance with their competence. So the
right man and the right place determine the success
of innovation.
5). Material Learning dan Academic curriculum
Two things that cannot be separated have a role in
the learning process in higher education. Effective
learning is always supported by complete learning
material adapted to an integrated curriculum with
the industrial world.
6). Soft Skill, ethical and critical, cultured and global
minded, Inovation, industry and corporation
230
 integrated. Higher Education must always innovate
to face competition from other universities and to
deal with the times. Innovations that can be done
by universities include :
a) Learning methods and curriculum are tailored
to the needs of the industry.
b) Innovative learning system with a curriculum
that suits the needs of the industry, equips
students' abilities in terms of Information
Technology (IT), Operational Technology
(OT), Internet of Things (IoT), and Big Data
Analitic, integrating physical, digital and
human objects.
c) Distance learning lecture system to reduce the
intensity of lecturer and student meetings
d) IT Infrastructure / E-services / Smart Campus,
digital and paperless information systems and
services.
e) Global Network for Academic, Research and
Innovation
f) Teaching Industry, strengthening downstream
activities in teaching industry or Science and
Techno Park (STP), industrial scale prototype
development, collaboration with industry,
patents, incubation, seed capital, training /
certification.
g) Adaptive Environment, ensuring academic
systems, innovation, research, learning
systems, and infrastructure support to create an
adaptive environment with competitive and
character graduates.
7). Regulating, universities need rules regarding
mobility of researchers / engineers / lecturers to the
industry, rewards for researchers / engineers /
lecturers. Then, facilitation of innovation funding,
development of teaching industry, development of
innovation and development consortia with
industry need to be built. Empowering emphasizes
the need for pengem, development / strengthening
of technology transfer office (TTO) units and
regionalization of innovation in universities.
8) Collaboration and integration of universities with
industry and corporasi in the industrial revolution
era 4.0 and curriculum that has been adapted to the
needs of industry with competent human resources

I. CONCLUSION
There are still many universities that apply
learning in the conventional way which will have an
impact on the decline in the number of students, the low
quality of learning and the decline in university
performance and ultimately will be left by students and
the community. In this article the author adds two
factors in the application of learning in the Industrial
Revolution 4.0 era, namely the first factor of Higher
Education in making changes involving students,
lecturers, management, stakeholders, regulations and
budgetary needs. The development of information and
communication technology has driven change in all
aspects and universities have great potential in
character formation and transformation of digital
learning. Almost all human activities have been
replaced by artificial intelligence and technology that
has a major contribution to the digital industry has an
impact on curriculum and learning methods. The
addition of the second factor, namely the government
regulation, executing agencies and government support
and empowering must be done together.
It is expected that the framework can help
universities to produce graduates who have soft skills,
ethics and critical thinking, culture and have a global
perspective, have ideas or to create innovations that are
integrated with industry and corporations. Universities
must print graduates who are able to compete in the
industrial revolution. The framework is expected to be a
reference and overview for universities to face the
industry revolution 4.0 and prepare learning that is in
line with the development of online-based technology
and information ranging from online learning, virtual
learning, social learning, open learning, blended
learning. In addition, universities must provide support
for changes in learning by providing technology,
equipment, budget, regulations and preparing human
resources needed with material concepts and curricula
that are integrated with industry and corporations.
