Abstract

The website is a communication tool that is used as an intermediary to share the latest news. The website of the Information Technology Department - Malang State Polytechnic (JTI-Polinema) is also a means of communication to share the latest activities and information about JTI. From January 2018 to November 2018, the news uploaded is only six content. This is not proportional to the number of activities available at the JTI. This is because there is only one type of user, the admin who can fill the website content. And the admin does not always know the activities in the information technology department. This study aims to develop an application to fill the website content of the Information Technology Department in state polytechnic Malang’s website by adding one more type of user, namely students and also make the interface look better and easy to use. This application allows students to upload articles about departmental activities, competitions, workshops and other information they know.

Based on validation testing this application is able to meet all the main functional requirements. while the usability test results based on usefulness, ease of use, ease to learn and satisfaction shows a high average value of 86.95%, it can be concluded that this application is acceptable and easy to use.
