Development of Online Digital Circuit Practices through Edlink and Circuit Verse Simulator

Abstract

This study aims to develop an online Digital Circuit practicum model that integrates the Edlink platform and the Circuit Verse simulator to overcome the limitations of laboratory tools and facilities in universities. This model is designed using the Research and Development (R&D) method based on the ADDIE model, including the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation stages. Validation was carried out by five experts, and effectiveness was tested through a pretest-posttest with 29 students. The results of the study showed a significant increase in students' understanding of the Digital Circuit concept, as evidenced by the t-test results with a significant value of 0.000. The online collaboration approach also increased student engagement in learning. The products of this research include learning modules, academic portal usage guides, textbooks, and practicum guides. The impact of this research includes increased accessibility, flexibility, and interactive learning experiences that support mastery of theory and practical skills. These findings contribute to the optimization of technology-based learning in engineering.
