BALIKPAPAN, JULY 16, 2026 – The Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) at UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta reaffirmed its commitment to improving academic quality to international standards by sending an official delegation to attend a national event organized by the National Executive Board of the Association of Indonesian Faculties of Economics and Business (DPN AFEBI). Held at the Novotel Balikpapan Hotel in East Kalimantan, representatives from FEB UIN Jakarta were present to actively participate in the “OBE & Case-Game Based Learning Workshop,” which took place from Wednesday through Saturday, July 15–18, 2026. 
The FEB UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta delegation for this strategic event was represented by two senior academics: Dr. Ady Cahyadi, SE., M.Si, and Dr. Fadlillah Fauzukhaq. Their participation represents a concrete step by the faculty to meet the maximum delegation quota per AFEBI member institution, with the aim of bringing transformative change to the teaching system on campus. 

This series of intensive workshops featured experts from various leading universities in Indonesia. The first day of the workshop was led by keynote speaker Prof. Dr. Dony Abdul Chalid, S.E., M.M., Ph.D., who explored the essence of “Designing an OBE System: Mission Alignment, Curriculum Mapping, and Assurance of Learning,” as well as follow-up steps for “Continuous Improvement for Meaningful Impact.” Practical training on rubric-based assessment was also explored in depth with expert instructors from Airlangga University (UNAIR). 
On the following day, the focus shifted to innovations in modern interactive teaching. The delegation learned about the implementation of Game-Based Learning with the Educational Games Laboratory (LEG) team from SBM ITB, led by Nur Arief Rahmatsyah Putranto, ST, MHRM (Hons), and Dr. Yuanita Handayati, ST, MSM. This session was then complemented by an in-depth exploration of the Case-Based Learning method led by Prof. Nurul Indarti, SE, Sivilokonom, Cand.
