“Academic
Collaboration: Prof. Capt. Eddy Sumartono, DBA., Ph.D. and Two Indonesian
Scholars Launch a Groundbreaking Book on Education in the AI Era”
Jakarta,
– The academic world in Indonesia is once again enriched by an exciting
breakthrough through the collaboration of three brilliant minds in education
and technology. Prof. Capt. Eddy Sumartono, DBA., Ph.D., together with
two renowned academics, Ade Irmayanti, S.Kom., MMSI., and Robin
Saputra, S.Pi., M.Si., have officially completed their book titled “Self-Taught
vs. College: Who Excels in the AI Era?”. This book provides a critical
reflection on the educational paradigm in a digital age increasingly dominated
by artificial intelligence (AI).
With diverse perspectives offered by
the three authors, this book aims to answer fundamental questions about the
effectiveness of formal education (college) and independent learning
(self-taught) in the face of technological advancements. Is an academic degree
still relevant in today’s global competition? Or is the self-taught approach a
more efficient and flexible solution? All these questions are comprehensively
discussed in this book, which will soon be published by CV Global Kreatif
Media.
A Collaboration of Three Thinkers:
Synergy of Knowledge and Experience
This collaboration brings together
three scholars with different academic backgrounds and expertise that
complement each other. Prof. Capt. Eddy Sumartono, a distinguished
professor and expert in business and management, brings extensive experience in
both academia and industry. With his expertise in strategic management, he
provides insights on how industries should prepare for technological changes.
On the other hand, Ade Irmayanti,
S.Kom., MMSI., a specialist in information technology, makes a significant
contribution in discussing how AI and digital transformation are reshaping the
way humans learn and work. With her background in information systems, she
explains the role of technology in supporting both formal education and
self-learning.
Meanwhile, Robin Saputra, S.Pi.,
M.Si., an academic and researcher in social sciences, adds perspectives on
the social and psychological impacts of different learning methods. Using
data-driven analysis, he explores how both education pathways affect an
individual’s readiness to enter an increasingly competitive workforce and
industry.
Book Content: Exploring the Challenges
and Opportunities in Education During the AI Era
The book “Self-Taught vs. College:
Who Excels in the AI Era?” is structured into several chapters that
systematically discuss crucial aspects of modern education. Key topics covered
include:
- A comparison of the strengths and weaknesses of
formal education (college) and self-learning in the AI era.
- How AI and digital technology are changing the way
we learn and access information.
- Essential skills needed in the digital age and the
best ways to develop them.
- The social, economic, and psychological impact of
self-learning versus traditional college education.
- Case studies of successful individuals who have
taken both formal and self-taught education pathways.
Through a well-balanced approach, the
authors aim to provide data-driven insights that help readers understand the
challenges and opportunities of both learning methods. The book does not merely
compare self-learning and college education but also serves as a guide to help
readers choose the best educational path based on their needs and aspirations.
The Relevance of This Book Amid Global
Educational Transformation
The digital era has brought massive
changes to the education sector. With the increasing number of online courses,
interactive tutorials, and freely accessible learning resources, many
individuals are questioning whether a college degree is still necessary.
Meanwhile, employers continue to place high value on university graduates with
structured education and formal certification.
In this context, “Self-Taught vs.
College” serves as a thought-provoking reference for academics, students,
learners, and professionals who want to understand how education must evolve
alongside technological advancements. The book encourages readers to think
critically about how they can optimize their potential, whether through an
academic or self-taught approach.
According to Prof. Capt. Eddy
Sumartono, “The world is constantly evolving, and we must be prepared for
change. Formal education offers structure and credibility, while self-learning
provides limitless access and flexibility. The key to success is how we
integrate both methods effectively.”
Excitement Ahead of the Book’s Release
Currently in its final publishing
stage, this book is highly anticipated by academics, professionals, and
students due to its relevance to today’s workforce challenges.
With the strong backgrounds of the
authors and well-researched content, “Self-Taught vs. College: Who Excels in
the AI Era?” is expected to be a primary reference for those seeking to
understand the role of education in the digital transformation era. The book's
release is also anticipated to spark broader discussions on how education
systems should adapt to AI and automation.
