are required to be able to adapt to the
development of the ICT world very rapidly.Delivery of learning gradually began to change
from conventional methods to ICT-based
methods that allow the learning delivered more
effectively as well as the exchange of information
among students and teachers.
SEAMOLEC as institutions engaged in the eld
of distance education based on information
technology and communication, sees the need
to increase the competence of ICT in order to
improve the quality of learning, as well as to
support distance education program that can
be done anywhere, anytime and by anyone.

improve the competence of students, teachers,
and communities to the latest IT knowledge. It
is expected that by applying this knowledge,
participants can master several IT-based mediathat can be used to develop creativity, self-
expression, and collaboration.
In an effort of digital simulation program
dissemination, SEAMOLEC prepares the
place of Competency Test, where teachers
and students can be tested for their ability by
local assessors in place to obtain a certicate
of Competency Test for student, teacher, andmaster trainers or even to become assessors.
On curriculum 2013, an attempt to communicate
an idea or concept through a digital presentation

simulation subjects. The subjects are to be part
of the vocational group, in the basic competency
vocational subgroup. The result of the measured
subjects are; involvement of students and
teachers in a virtual classroom that utilize alimited social media and the presentation of
the idea of objects or service concept in the
form of digital books, which are paperless and
equipped with hearing-viewing media.
Measurable competencies as a result of
learning this subject called Digital Simulation
Competency. This competence consists of 5
subcompetencies, respectively; participation
in using social networking for learning;
perform online communication; create video
presentations; create visual simulations;
digitizing material into a book / digital reports.
To prepare the digital simulation educators, digital
simulation training in teacher level has been
carried out based on ve modules, namely: the
use of Edmodo Social Network for Learning; the
use of the Online Communications; producingvideo presentation; making visual simulation,
and digital books.

Expertise in Open and Distance Learning
Library is one of the important
factors supporting the institution
and instrumental in the accreditation
process. Regarding this matter, the library now is
competing to improve their services, especially
its role in developing a digital library.
At this digital time information is easy to get
in hand. As we wake up before doing anyactivity, even for wash your face, the majority
of communication device users already busy
open the hand phone, ipad, iPhone, or similar
devices. Similarly, on the way to school or work
are already visible, where people are busy with
electronic devices within his hand.
To face this phenomenon, as the heart of a
college, library should be able to follow the
developments in the community. The library
is the heart of the college, the rst reference
scholarly works produced by the students.
Beside its other roles that are not less important,
such as a place for literary work collections or
valuable document of a nation.
Challenges in the college library is able to meet
the customer from digital era or Y generation,
who have different needs than conventionalcustomer or generation from digital immigrant.
Compensate for the digital natives lifestyle,
who is never separated from the gadget with
characteristic; fast, easy, instantaneous, and
cheap, now is the time to improve the library in
order to serve in accordance with the desires
of consumers and the development of the era,
namely by developing digital libraries.
Why digital library? Because the digital library
is a major trend today with the increasing of
users access to sources of computer-based
resources, electronic publishing which has depth
implications for literature collection development,
and utilization of telecommunication networks
by libraries, dependence on resource-based
digital resources, and no single library able to
satisfy the needs of its customer through itscollection.
Many advantages will be gained from the digital
library as a means of access to books, records,
and images. The customer do not have to
physically go to the library, a lot of people
in world can access to the same information
throughout the internet as long as the connection
is available. The main advantages of digital
library are able to obtain access to information
any time, day or night. The same sources can be
continuously used by a number of users. Digital
libraries provide access to a lot of information,
where we can move on to other parts of the
book catalogs, and so on. Another advantage
is that users can use any search term they want
(word, phrase title, name, subject) to search the
entire collection.
For rare book collections and usually have a
fragile condition, digitizing books can minimize
damage due to constant use. If the conventional
library is very limited storage space, digital
libraries do not require a large physical space. In
theory, the cost of maintenance of digital libraries
is lower than the traditional library that must
spend money to hire staff, maintenance, etc.

Certain digital libraries also provide advantages
in the form of providing information to customer
with links to sources other digital libraries
easily.
Of course, with various benets such as the
above mentioned, some problems still haunt
the establishment of digital libraries such as
copyright.
With regard to the copyright issue, the user
must be very careful because of the ease of
downloading doesnt meant piracy.
Regardless of the problem that arise, it is
time libraries in university and institutions in
both private and government gives a positive
response to the need of the public in accessing
information quickly, easily and instantly, togradually switch from conventional library to
digital library.
