IoT-Based Photography Practice Learning Design for Basic Photography Subjects at Indonesian Vocational High Schools

In the Industry 4.0 era, the Indonesian government implemented the “Merdeka Belajar” or Independent Learning curriculum to improve the competence and skills of vocational school graduates. This curriculum gives schools flexibility and autonomy to design learning tailored to students’ ability levels, relevant to the industry, and contextual. One technology pillar of Industry 4.0 widely implemented in various fields is the Internet of Things (IoT). This research proposes an architecture design for implementing IoT-based technology for basic photography learning in broadcast and film majors in Indonesian Vocational High Schools (VHS). The challenges in learning basic photography are limited tools, practice time, fast and accurate feedback to students, and data on all student activities. The proposed system is implemented in a photography laboratory. The proposed system can store student practice activities, gamification-based game leveling, system automation according to levels and tasks, and provide fast and accurate feedback. This research’s output is system design, consisting of system architecture design and Unified Modeling Language (UML) design. UML diagrams built in this study include use cases, activities, and entity-relationships diagrams.
