The development of electronic module (E-MODULE) carbohydrates using the professional FLIP PDF application in organic chemistry course

Abstract

The development of technology and information is already well-known in the Industrial Revolution 4.0. It brings a very large impact on education in this century. The use of technology can be effectively better in learning media. The study focused to develop an electronic module (E-Module) by using the Flip PDF Professional application as a medium for learning organic chemistry that concern about carbohydrates that can be accessed through smartphones on the Android platform, desktops, and laptops. The E-Module carbohydrates were developed with the Chemistry undergraduate program curriculum. The contents of the E-module consist of carbohydrate discussion material which is equipped with video, pictures, hyperlinks, flash, and formative tests on each sub-chapter material. The research method used was Research and Development (R&D) with the Borg and Gall model. The E-Module development procedure was carried out by analyzing initial needs in the form of interviews with lecturers and distributing questionnaires to 75 chemistry students. Furthermore, the E-module that has been compiled is validated by material, language, and media experts using a standard Likert scale instrument. Based on the assessment of material, language, and media, it can't be ignored that this E-module gets a good interpretation so that it is suitable for use in the learning process in the organic chemistry course with carbohydrate ingredients. The E-Module dissemination in the organic chemistry learning process is being carried out and will be published in the next article.
