Pekanbaru — The Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, Universitas Riau (FISIP UNRI), held a follow-up coordination meeting with the Digitalization Team to discuss the design of the workflow (flow) for the online supervision system on Monday (March 2, 2026), at the Akar Beluru Room. This activity was a continuation of the previous meeting with the Information and Communication Technology Service Unit (UPA TIK) of Universitas Riau, reflecting FISIP UNRI’s commitment to accelerating the digital transformation of academic services.
The meeting was attended by the Vice Dean for Academic Affairs, Dr. Auradian Marta, S.IP., M.A., the Head of the Academic and Student Affairs Working Group, Muhammad Arsyad, S.Kom., M.Si., as well as the FISIP UNRI Digitalization Team. The agenda included in-depth discussions on the design of the online supervision system flow, the formulation of integrated service mechanisms, proposals for actualization activities and basic training (latsar) mentoring for team members, and other strategic matters deemed necessary to support the acceleration of academic service digital transformation within the faculty.
In his remarks, the Vice Dean for Academic Affairs, Dr. Auradian Marta, S.IP., M.A., emphasized that the development of the online supervision system is a strategic step toward improving the quality of academic services to become more effective, efficient, and adaptive to the needs of students and academic supervisors in the digital era.
“This online supervision system is expected to provide solutions to various technical and administrative constraints that have been encountered so far. With a structured and integrated system flow, the academic supervision process can be more transparent, well-documented, and easily monitored,” he stated.
He also highlighted the importance of synergy among faculty leaders, technical teams, and all work units to ensure that the system being designed truly meets field requirements, is user-friendly, and can be implemented optimally and sustainably. According to him, the success of digital transformation depends not only on technological sophistication but also on the readiness of human resources and a shared commitment to implementing change.
On the same occasion, the Dean of FISIP UNRI, Dr. Meyzi Heriyanto, S.Sos., M.Si., expressed positive feedback on the initiative to develop the online supervision system. He conveyed his appreciation for the performance of the Digitalization Team and all parties involved in driving innovation in academic services within FISIP.
“This step is highly strategic in supporting the university’s policy toward an impact-driven campus. The digitalization of academic services must continue to be developed so that educational governance at FISIP UNRI becomes increasingly modern, transparent, and accountable,” he asserted.
Furthermore, he expressed his hope that the developed online supervision system would become one of the best practice models at the faculty level that could be replicated by other units, while also supporting the achievement of the university’s Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), particularly in governance, educational services, and student satisfaction.
Through this coordination meeting, it is expected that an integrated, adaptive, and sustainable online supervision system will be realized, thereby enhancing the quality of academic services, strengthening digital transformation, and supporting the realization of FISIP UNRI as an excellent, innovative, and competitive faculty.
