Architecture Design of Internet of things Virtual Laboratory

Abstract

The development of the internet today has been very developed including for the world of education, one of the technologies is the application of the Internet of Things (IoT) which should be accompanied by an increase in student competence in higher education but is currently still constrained by laboratory facilities, The purpose of this study is to produce an IoT virtual laboratory architecture design, which will then be developed into an IoT virtual lab system. The method used in this research is the waterfall method in the design and design aspects, testing is done using an expert validation instrument to determine the validity level of the virtual laboratory design before entering the implementation or system creation stage. The research has produced an IoT virtual laboratory architecture consisting of three main components, namely (1) virtualab information system, (2) virtual lab manager and (3) system integration through SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) which is used for integration into the LMS (Learning Management System) system, the results of validation from experts on the design of the IoT virtual laboratory architecture show an average score of 3.56, within the value range of 3.26 to 4.00. This indicates a very good level of quality. This indicates a very good level of quality. However, there are still areas that need to be improved, especially in criterion V2 related to the system development flow diagram which gets an average score of 3.33, so the results of this research design can be used for the system development stage.
