RANCANG BANGUN APLIKASI E-SERTIFIKAT BERBASIS WEB MENGGUNAKAN METODE PENGEMBANGAN WATERFALL

Certification is a determination given by a professional organization to someone to show that the person has competence, is able to do a specific job or task. Quality Assurance and Learning Development Institute Universitas Negeri Padang (LP3M UNP) currently still issues paper-based certificates manually for each training activity. Issuance of certificates manually turned out to be quite time consuming and inefficient. Then the absence of a verification system that can check the authenticity and ownership of certificates can provide opportunities for certificate forgery. So, it is very important to design and build a web-based electronic certificate application (e-certificate) that is able to generate certificates online and be able to verify the authenticity and ownership of the electronic certificates. This study uses a Research and Development (R&D) approach. This type of development method uses the waterfall approach. At the system design stage using the Unified Modeling Language (UML), and for the database using MySQL. The results of this study are web-based e-certificate applications that are designed successfully to support the process of generating and verifying the authenticity and ownership of electronic certificates online. Based on the results of testing the system with the black box method also shows that all the functionality of the e-certificate application that is designed to run very well and in accordance with user needs

Effectiveness of Distance Learning Computer Numerical Control Based on Virtual Laboratory Using a Metaverse Platform to Improve Students’ Cognitive Ability and Practice Skills

This study analyzes the effectiveness of virtual laboratory-based distance learning as a means of improving the learning outcomes of students’ cognitive abilities and practical skills in the Computer Numerical Control course. This study utilized a pre-experimental design with a onegroup pretest-posttest structure. The research subjects were 31 second-year vocational students from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Universitas Negeri Padang who had recently participated in four distance learning sessions. The research instruments included a pre-test, a post-test, and a student perception survey to assess the effectiveness of virtual laboratory treatment. The findings of this study demonstrate that the presence of a virtual laboratory enhances learning outcomes in terms of cognitive abilities. The pre-test value for cognitive abilities was 52.04, which increased to 82.36 in the post-test. Similarly, the pre-test value for practical skills was 56.98, which improved to 83.44 in the post-test. These improvements significantly contribute to the enhancement of learning outcomes, as indicated by an average N-gain value of 0.642 in the medium/effective category. We conclude that the use of virtual laboratory media through the Metaverse platform is effective for distance learning. This method reduces the initial requirement of 24 hours of face-to-face learning to just five hours of more effective self-study

Immersive Learning Experience Design (ILXD): Augmented Reality Mobile Application for Placing and Interacting with 3D Learning Objects in Engineering Education

The Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine operates based on a numerical control program generated semi-automatically by a Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) system or manually by the operator. Repeated practice is required to operate a CNC machine. For an inexperienced operator (student), the practicum requires extensive use of materials and cutting instruments. In the meantime, the number of laboratory equipment for the CNC programming practicum remains limited, and the 3-axis CNC milling machine training unit is inadequate for the number of students. For this reason, we need a medium that can simulate the machining process to aid students in their early stages of learning. This research aims to create a mobile application for milling machine visualization based on augmented reality. This augmented reality (AR) application, "MM: CTU 3-Axis," or Machine Milling CNC Training Unit 3-Axis, was designed with 3D virtual objects to provide students with knowledge and practical experience. The application development model used Multimedia Development Life Cycle (MDLC). This research yields an Android-based augmented reality (AR) application called "MM: CTU 3-Axis" that does not require markers. The development and verification results demonstrated that this application could aid in learning CNC programming and machining practicum, as well as reduce the cost of using cutting tools and the cost of using materials due to repeated experiments on CNC machines
