Community Empowerment Through Android-Based Herbal Plant Education Application Training for Traditional Medicine Information Access

Marsyah Marsyah — 2026-05-13

Limited public access to accurate information about herbal plants remains a barrier to the proper use of traditional medicine. Some communities still rely on inherited knowledge that is not always accompanied by scientific information regarding the benefits, processing methods, dosages, and potential side effects of medicinal plants. This community service activity aims to improve access to information on traditional medicine by training and mentoring participants in using an Android-based herbal plant education application. The activity partners are communities in Makassar City, around herbal cultivation sites, who still use medicinal plants in their daily lives. The implementation method includes identifying partner needs, compiling educational content, developing an Android-based application using an Agile approach, providing application training, mentoring, and evaluating through functional testing and user questionnaires. The introduced application has key features, including a list of herbal plants, information on benefits and processing methods, an image-based plant scanner, educational videos, and details on cultivation locations. Black Box testing results indicate that all application features operate as designed. An evaluation of 15 respondents showed a feasibility level of 88.2%, categorized as very feasible. The results of the activity indicate that this application can serve as a digital educational tool, helping the public access information about herbal plants in an easier, more engaging, and more structured way. Furthermore, training and mentoring help the public use the application's features more effectively. Therefore, this application has the potential to support public access to more structured, easily understood information about herbal plants.

Implementation of a Web-Based Learning Management System to Support Parental Involvement in Digital Learning

Abdul Adam Abdullah — 2026-05-13

Parental involvement in the learning process is a crucial factor in supporting student academic success in the digital education era. However, limited academic monitoring systems in schools often result in suboptimal communication between teachers and parents. This community service activity aims to implement a web-based Learning Management System (LMS) with monitoring features to support parents in digital learning. The program, implemented at Epsom College in Malaysia, encompasses needs analysis, system design, LMS implementation, user training, mentoring, and system evaluation. The system was developed using the Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM) approach, while testing was conducted using Black Box Testing and questionnaire-based quantitative evaluation. Participants included 15 teachers, 48 students, and 32 parents. The implementation results showed that the system helped teachers manage digital learning, facilitated student access to materials and assignments, and increased parental involvement in monitoring students' academic progress in real time. User evaluation results showed a system feasibility rating of 86.2%, categorized as very feasible. User response analysis also showed a 31.4% increase in academic communication effectiveness after system implementation. These findings suggest that web-based LMS can support digital learning transformation while strengthening collaboration between schools and families.

Implementation of a Web-Based Management Information System for Monitoring Sales and Stock of Goods in MSMEs

Digital transformation is crucial for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to improve business management effectiveness and competitiveness in the digital economy. However, most MSMEs still rely on manual transaction recording and inventory management, leading to operational constraints such as data entry errors, delays in preparing sales reports, and difficulties with real-time inventory monitoring. This community service activity aims to implement a web-based management information system to support sales monitoring and inventory management at Lasari Kopi MSME in Makassar City. The novelty of this activity lies in integrating sales monitoring, automated transaction recording, and real-time inventory management into a single web-based dashboard tailored to the operational needs of small-scale MSMEs. The implementation method uses an implementative-participatory approach through the stages of identifying partner needs, system development, application implementation, user training, and system evaluation. The evaluation was conducted using Black Box Testing and the System Usability Scale (SUS), with 15 respondents, including business owners and MSME employees. The implementation results show that all system features function as intended, with no functional errors. Furthermore, the usability evaluation achieved a SUS score of 89.4, which is considered Excellent. The system implementation also successfully improved business operational efficiency by accelerating the transaction recording process from an average of 4–5 minutes to 1–2 minutes and improving the accuracy of real-time inventory monitoring. Thus, the implementation of a web-based management information system has proven to support the digital transformation of MSMEs by improving administrative effectiveness, operational efficiency, and more integrated and sustainable business data management.

Implementation of Augmented Reality-Based Learning to Enhance Student Engagement and Achievement at SMA Hang Tuah Makassar

Muh Riyaldi Pratama — 2026-05-13

The development of digital technology in education demands learning innovations that can increase student engagement and understanding. This community service activity aims to implement Augmented Reality (AR)-based learning media to improve the quality of learning at Hang Tuah Senior High School, Makassar. The method used is a collaborative, participatory approach that follows the stages of needs identification, media development, training, implementation, and evaluation. AR media allows students to interact with three-dimensional objects, creating a more interactive and contextual learning experience. The results of the activity show an increase in student learning outcomes, with the average score rising from 54.43 to 83.36 and a gain of 0.65, which falls within the high category. In addition, there was an increase in student engagement and motivation to learn, as well as in teacher competence in integrating technology into learning. Despite obstacles such as limited devices and internet connectivity, the implemented adaptive strategy supported the program's success. The use of AR has the potential to be an innovative solution in supporting interactive and sustainable learning in the digital era. This research provides a practical contribution to the application of Augmented Reality-based learning in secondary education.

Digital Monitoring System for Field Work Practice in Vocational Schools

Asri — 2026-05-13

The implementation of Field Work Practice (PKL) in vocational schools still faces administrative and monitoring challenges due to reliance on manual reporting systems. These limitations affect reporting efficiency, transparency, and teachers' ability to monitor student activities in real time. This community service activity aimed to implement and assist the use of a web-based PKL monitoring system at SMK Nasional Makassar to support digital monitoring, reporting, and evaluation of PKL activities. The implementation process included needs analysis, system design, implementation, user socialization, mentoring, and evaluation using the Waterfall approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and literature review. System evaluation was conducted through Black Box Testing and User Acceptance Testing (UAT). The Black Box Testing results showed that all main system functions operated properly in accordance with user requirements. Furthermore, the UAT results showed a feasibility percentage of 88.5%, indicating that the system was categorized as “Very Feasible.” The implementation of the system improved the effectiveness of real-time monitoring, digital reporting, data management, and administrative efficiency of PKL activities in vocational schools. The findings demonstrate that the web-based monitoring system can effectively support digital transformation in vocational education management.
