Abstract

Recent advancements in the capabilities of mobile devices have led to an increased interest in leveraging them for learning, especially in the field of engineering education. Mobile learning has become great tool for delivering educational resources in which learners can not only access the module anytime and anywhere but also can actively interact with the learning material. This research aims to design and develop learning material of an automotive engineering course based on mobile device for mechanical engineering education students. The development e-publication module of motorcycle mechanic course employed the ADDIE instructional design model encompassing five steps: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The student's learning style was identified to characterize the target audience of the mobile module. It was found that the majority of the students as the user have auditory and kinesthetic, then the module will be designed with the design in accordance with the auditory and kinesthetic learning style, therefore the module will be mainly designed on audio-based format. The learning module is developed using e-publication software consisting of structured PDF documents combined with audio and video files. Some experts in instructional system design and automotive engineering were asked to evaluate the implementation feasibility of the module. The average evaluation score was 85.4%, indicating high acceptance of implementing the learning module. The technical feasibility analysis indicated that the smartphone used for this module requires at least 1024 MB of RAM (Random Access Memory). It implies that e-publication module delivery has the potential to gain wider acceptance in engineering education complementing the in-class and practical learning.
