MOOC Pintar Platform Serves Half a Million People in First Semester

Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Pintar Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) learning platform developed by the Ministry of Religious Affairs served 511,746 training participants across Indonesia in the first semester of 2026.

“This achievement proves that the adoption of digital technology can cut through bureaucratic chains, is environmentally friendly because it is paperless, and is highly efficient from a budgetary standpoint,” said Mastuki, Head of the Human Resources Development Centre for Education and Religious Affairs at the Ministry, when contacted in Jakarta on Monday.

Mastuki explained that the inclusive and flexible learning access over the past six months has been divided into three main methods: Independent Learning, Group Learning, and Guided Learning.

As for participation data, Independent Learning was followed by 456,132 participants, Group Learning by 34,611 participants, and Guided Learning by 21,003 participants.

“The Pintar platform is increasingly popular with the public. Community participation is growing. This is encouraging because civil servants’ participation in self-development increases every year,” he said.

Mastuki added that reaching half a million participants is equivalent to holding 17,059 conventional face-to-face classes, along with substantial budget savings.

“This success not only has an impact on budget efficiency but is also environmentally friendly because the approach taken is a paperless system,” said Mastuki.

The quality of the training received by civil servants has also been commendable. In terms of competency impact, the final evaluation results show a very high satisfaction rate.

As many as 99.57 per cent of participants said they felt direct benefits from the training. In addition, 99.54 per cent of participants also believe the learning outcomes will bring tangible positive impacts for their colleagues and organisational progress.

“This progress will be even better for the organisation. The more civil servants develop their own competencies, the better the organisation will become,” he said.
