Abstract

Seiring dengan perkembangan teknologi informasi saat ini, pencapaian kompetensi mata kuliah praktikum dapat diperoleh melalui kombinasi antara Dry Lab dengan Wet Lab. Di sisi lain, lokasi mahasiswa PS Biologi sangat tersebar dan biaya praktikum cukup tinggi. Hal ini dapat diatasi antara lain bila pelaksanaan praktikum dapat dilakukan secara mandiri sehingga mahasiswa tidak harus hadir di tempat praktikum. Namun demikian, tidak semua kompetensi praktikum dapat dilakukan secara mandiri, sehingga perlu kombinasi pelaksanaan praktikum. Tulisan ini menyajikan tentang penerapan praktikum Dry Lab dikombinasikan dengan Wet Lab untuk pencapaian kompetensi mata kuliah praktikum taksonomi tumbuhan tinggi. Kompetensi yang ditargetkan dalam mata kuliah praktikum taksonomi tumbuhan tinggi adalah mampu membandingkan karakteristik antara kelompok tumbuhan berpembuluh dengan beberapa contoh suku dan jenis anggotanya. Hasil kajian terhadap materi mata kuliah praktikum tersebut menunjukkan bahwa kompetensi yang diinginkan dapat dicapai dengan memanfaatkan kombinasi Dry Lab dan Wet Lab. Dry Lab digunakan untuk memperkuat pengetahuan awal terhadap tumbuhan yang akan diamati dan untuk memperagakan langkah-langkah pelaksanaan praktikum di lapangan secara mandiri. Selain itu, Dry Lab memudahkan untuk pengklasifikasian tumbuhan. Sedangkan Wet Lab dimanfaatkan untuk kegiatan praktikum pengamatan organ tumbuhan yang membutuhkan peralatan khusus, perabaan, dan penciuman. Pelaksanaan praktikum kombinasi antara Dry Lab dan Wet Lab dapat mengurangi kunjungan mahasiswa ke tempat praktikum, sehingga biaya praktikum juga dapat dikurangi. Along with the recent development of information technology, achieving competency practicum courses may be obtained through a combination of dry lab and wet lab. On the other hand, the locations of Universitas Terbuka biology students are very scattered and relatively high cost of lab work. This can be handled when the implementation of practical work can be done independently so that students do not have to be present in the lab. However, not all practicum competence can be done independently, so it needs a combination of practical implementations. This paper presents the practical application of dry lab combined with wet lab to achieve Vascular Plant Taxonomy Practicum Course competency. Competencies targeted in the Vascular Plant Taxonomy Practicum Course are to be able to compare characteristics between groups of vascular plants with a few examples of families and members type. The study of practicum subjects indicate that the competency requirements can be achieved by utilizing a combination dry lab and wet lab. Dry lab used to strengthen prior knowledge about the plants that will be observed and to demonstrate the steps of practicum implementation in the field independently. In addition, dry lab made easier to classify the plants. While wet lab can be used for practical observation activities on plant organs which require special equipment, as well as touching and smelling activities. The implementation of combination on dry lab and wet lab practicum can reduce students’ visit to the laboratory, so that the cost of practical work can also be reduced.

Abstract

The kind of audio technology makes it possible to choose the technology that can make students easy and convenient to access the audio program. Audio streaming technology is technology used to put the audio programs on the website. Available in various formats audio programs that can be used for audio streaming technology. The aim of the research is to make the selection of audio technologies available for use in e-Learning system at the Open University (UT). Data taken with the questionnaire and download audio programs in various formats on the UT website. Data analysis to see the frequency calculations are presented descriptively.The results showed that the 4 (four) format used on audio technology, which is MP3 (MPEG layer 3), WMA (Windows Media Audio), OGG Vorbis, and AAC (Advanced Audio Codec) can be concluded that: most audio format easy to use are MP3, MP3 audio format is the fastest format can be downloaded by students, as well as audio technology that produces the best sound quality is MP3.
