Abstract:

Universitas Terbuka (UT), a distance learning university, has developed a Single Sign On (SSO) application for students named MyUT. Students only need to use their Office 365 account to log in to MyUT in order to access multiple applications at once. This article presents the findings of a semester-long evaluation of the MyUT's implementation. To collect data, surveys, interviews, and observations were conducted. Nine Indonesian cities (Denpasar, Bandung, Surabaya, Banjarmasin, Palembang, Makassar, Mataram, Medan, and Ambon) contributed a total of 153 students to the assessment form. According to the results, students had positive opinions on the MyUT app. Of those surveyed, around 95% said that more students should use the MyUT app and that they found the MyUT display to be engaging. According to 148 respondents, utilising the MyUT app gave them the impression of being on a virtual campus. Respondents also suggested improving the server, expediting the login procedure, adding chat options, and informing students about MyUT as ways to improve the MyUT.
