Development Of Interactive Multimedia-Based Learning Media
Keywords:
interactive multimedia, Smart Apps Creator, Informatics education, computer systems, instructional design.Abstract
The integration of digital technologies in education has heightened the need for pedagogical innovations that enhance conceptual understanding and student engagement, particularly in subjects involving abstract technical content such as Computer Systems. This study aimed to develop and evaluate an interactive multimedia learning application using Smart Apps Creator (SAC 3) for Grade X Informatics students at SMA Negeri 01 Boyan Tanjung. Employing a Research and Development (R&D) methodology grounded in the ADDIE model, the study systematically carried out needs analysis, instructional design, multimedia development, classroom implementation, and formative evaluation. Data were collected through expert validation sheets, student response questionnaires, observations, and documentation, and analyzed using descriptive statistics.
Results from expert validators indicated high levels of feasibility, with media experts awarding scores of 88.09% and 91.66%, and material experts assigning 93.18% and 84.09%, placing the product in the “Very Valid” category. Classroom implementation involving both small- and large-scale trials demonstrated strong student engagement and positive perceptions, with overall student response reaching 85.14%, categorized as “Very Good.” The interactive multimedia effectively supported learners in visualizing system components, reduced cognitive load, and increased motivation compared to traditional teaching resources. The findings affirm that SAC-based multimedia constitutes a practical and pedagogically robust solution for enhancing the teaching of Computer Systems, particularly in schools with limited infrastructure. Future research should incorporate experimental measurements of learning gains and broaden implementation across diverse educational contexts.
