The aim of education is to improve students' understanding, knowledge, and skills. The educational process involves interaction between teachers and students and can be done through various methods, including the use of learning media. Learning media refers to tools, resources, or methods used in the learning process to help students understand information better. Learning media can be physical objects or digital media, such as textbooks, videos, animations, or educational software. The aim of using learning media is to increase the effectiveness of learning by presenting interesting, interactive content and making it easier to understand concepts.
