Penerapan Media Pembelajaran Berbasis Web Responsive Bagi Mahasiswa Penyandang Disabilitas

Introduction

Penerapan media pembelajaran berbasis web responsive bagi mahasiswa penyandang disabilitas. Pengembangan media pembelajaran web responsif untuk mahasiswa disabilitas, memastikan akses mudah ke perkuliahan daring dari perangkat apapun. Menggunakan metode Extreme Programming.

Abstract

Pandemi yang melanda di Indonesia menjadi salah satu pendorong semakin cepatnya perkembangan teknologi, khususnya dibidang teknologi informasi. Masa pandemi membatasi adanya interaksi antara orang dengan orang lain, sehingga komunikasi secara daring menjadi salah satu pilihan. Perkembangan komunikasi yang semakin cepat juga berpengaruh terhadap proses pembelajran di perguruan tinggi, yang melaksanakan kegiatan perkuliahan secara daring. Dalam perkembangannya banyak model pembelajaran yang diselenggarakan secara daring dan menjadi salah satu solusi bagi mahasiswa disabilitas yang tidak bisa mengikuti perkuliahan secara langsung, dengan menggunakan media pembelajaran dalam bentuk web. Menggunakan aplikasi web harapannya mahasiswa disabilitas mampu mengikuti perkuliahan dimanapun dan melalui perangkat apapun yang disajikan secara responsive. Menggunakan metode Extreme Programing dalam pembuatan web responsive menjadi pertimbangan khusus dimana akan memprsingkat waktu pengerjaan yang akan meliputi beberapa tahapan: tahap perencanaan dilakukan dengan wawancara dan dokumentasi, tahap perancangan dibuat desain aplikasi menggunakan Use Case Diagram, tahap pengkodean menggunakan bahasa pemrograman php dan template bootstrap untuk membuat aplikasi dan tahap pengujian menggunakan Black Box Testing untuk menguji fungsi yang ada pada aplikasi tersebut.

Review

This paper addresses a highly relevant and critical issue: the provision of accessible online learning for students with disabilities, particularly in the context of the accelerated shift to remote education during the recent pandemic. The authors propose developing a responsive web-based learning platform, aiming to ensure that students with disabilities can access educational content effectively, irrespective of their location or the device they are using. This initiative is commendable for its focus on inclusivity and its strategic use of technology to bridge potential educational gaps for a vulnerable student population. The abstract provides a clear overview of the methodological approach, opting for Extreme Programming (XP) to expedite the development process. The outlined stages—planning through interviews and documentation, design using Use Case Diagrams, coding with PHP and Bootstrap, and functional testing via Black Box Testing—demonstrate a structured and systematic development cycle. While XP's iterative nature is well-suited for rapid development, a brief mention in the abstract of how its principles specifically cater to or facilitate the integration of accessibility features and user feedback from disabled students would further strengthen this section. Overall, this work presents a promising and practical approach to enhancing educational equity for students with disabilities. The concept of a responsive web-based platform is inherently valuable and addresses a significant societal need. For the full paper, it would be highly beneficial to elaborate on the specific accessibility features integrated into the platform beyond just responsiveness, and to detail how the "interviews and documentation" during the planning phase specifically captured the diverse requirements of students with various types of disabilities. Including initial findings from the Black Box Testing and any preliminary user feedback would significantly bolster the paper's impact and provide concrete evidence of the platform's effectiveness and real-world applicability.
