Development of interactive learning media in computer network using augmented reality technology

Abstract

Technological development affect on aspects of education that impact on learning activities. In computer networks learning, there is still rarely media use which has an impact on students’ understanding of how to install computer networks. Current mobile phones have many features that can be used to play games, watch videos, listen to music, personal assistant, find information, GPS, and many more. One of the interesting technologies that can be developed on mobile phones is Augmented Reality. Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that combines two-dimensional or three-dimensional virtual objects into a real three-dimensional environment and then projects these virtual objects in real time. This research discusses the development of learning media Augmented reality of computer network installation. The purpose of this research is to develop augmented reality learning media and build media that makes it easier for students to understand the process of installing computer networks that becomes an alternative as a learning media. The method used is Research and Development (R&D).
