Live Webcast System Design for Smart Classroom Learning In Electronic Engineering Department

Abstract

This research supports the achievement of government programs and the Research Plan of the State University of Padang, especially on the topic of IT-Based Learning Development in the fields of excellence in Education and Educational Sciences. The long-term goal of this research is to develop innovative and flexible learning models based on Smart Classroom that is focused on developing a Smart Classroom learning system based on Live Webcast in the FT UNP Electronics Engineering Department. Smart Classroom learning system tools are developed to bridge the gap between virtual classes and physical (traditional) classes in terms of the learning experience by combining the two separate teaching practices smoothly. The research method uses a quantitative approach and the type of research is R & D adopting the Thiagarajan 4D development model. This research produces a Smart Classroom system based on Live Webcast through several stages, namely: (1) System Design, (2) System Creation, (3) System Testing. This developed system allows interaction of physical classroom learning and also virtual classroom teaching at different locations.
