'''Why sTUter?'''

As it is known that the Open University is different from other universities. Open universities aim to provide education for all so that they must cover a wide area even in remote areas. Therefore, UT has branch offices spread throughout Indonesia and even abroad called UPBJJ ( Distance learning program unit). With a large number of students and the online base used, many students lack information about branch offices, study groups, and even platforms to consult about assignments or other challenges. Therefore, we have the idea to create a community platform for all students that has a function as a cross-departmental community platform from various existing UPBJJs (Distance learning program units).

It should also be noted that UT is a high school based on online learning. almost all learning and teaching activities are made through the learning platform created by UT and equipped with teaching materials in the form of BMP which can also be accessed online. Teaching and learning activities at UT for one semester only take 3 months. In one semester there are 8-week sessions in which there are 8 discussion sessions and 3 assignments. To facilitate students in doing discussions and assignments. we have a solution to add a notification feature for discussion and task deadline reminders.
