CMS Series: Intro | "Content Management System for Content Contribution"

One of Govtech Edu Indonesia missions for teachers is to provide easy access to the best quality teaching resources for class implementation. In order to have a matching content supply and demand, we need to make sure the business process of the contribution system runs seamlessly through a content management system named Ruang Kolaborasi Merdeka Mengajar (RKMM).

Handled and curated by content admins from the internal team (substantial content team) and ministry stakeholders (curriculum & learning body), RKMM is positioned as a centralized hub within Merdeka Mengajar ecosystem where educators can easily upload lesson plans, instructional materials, and best practices, fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing within the educational community.

Although the RKMM system was already designed and implemented before I took over as the appointed designer in early 2023, it still requires significant human intervention from our small content team to effectively operate key functions.

In the context of teaching resources (or toolkit product as we called it), RKMM simplifies content management and ensures that resources are organized, substantially up to date, and easily accessible for enhancing classroom learning.

To easily navigate my process as a product designer, I will break down this project into multiple acts. Why acts not parts? Well… as I love musicals, let's consider this long case study as a broadway show, me as the main character with imaginative songs (free for you to imagine) and the storyline being the case study.
