Feedback On The Usage Of The Department Of Mechanical Engineering Project Unit Portal, Politeknik Mukah

Abstract

The teaching and learning strategy (PdP) used today should be modified to meet the demands of 21st-century education and technological improvements. The JKM PMU Project Unit Portal is a simple-to-use Android application and user-friendly web platform. The current web infrastructure is used to construct the JKM Project Unit Portal and mobile application, PMU. User input on portal usage is collected to understand user needs and experiences better, address problems, tailor the portal to users' demands, increase safety and privacy, and foster better connections between portal administrators and users. The JKM Project Unit Portal and mobile application are used by the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Politeknik Mukah. The three research goals are the overall level of usage, the relationship between learning strategies, interface design, interaction design, and gender-based differences in interaction design. 101 Mechanical Engineering Diploma students at Politeknik Mukah enrolled in Project 1 (DJJ40182) and Project 2 (50193) for the second session of 2022–2023 and partook in a survey that was done using a questionnaire. The minimal average score for learning techniques or information design in this collaborative learning system is 4.4, which is considered to be a high level. The three variables were analysed using Pearson correlation to determine their relationship, which revealed a strong and positive link. Additionally, with a t-value (99) = 2.25 and a p-value = 0.823 (P>0.05), the findings of the independent t-test study on interaction design between two separate samples revealed no discernible variation in interaction design depending on gender. Overall, this designed learning system satisfies the requirements of collaborative learning via the portal and has garnered a great deal of support.
