Design of Wireless Sensor Network Programming Tutorial Module (WSNmesh32)

The use of Internet of Things technology may have a significant impact on changes in online learning systems in the situation of the COVID-19 pandemic. Learners need a laboratory to use and master the necessary tools or components. However, this is difficult to do in a pandemic situation. The use of remote laboratories can overcome the limitations of practicum media, which is an obstacle for students in learning. This research discusses the creation of WSNMesh32 programming tutorial modules as microcontrollers using Wi-Fi-mesh network topology that can be used in Sensor and Microcontroller Practicum courses. This research aims to find out the feasibility and perception of learners towards the WSNMesh32 Programming Tutorial Module as a learning medium in pandemic times. The method used is a quantitative method with the ADDIE model (Analyse, Design, Develop, Implement, Evaluation). Participants consisted of 31 students of the Electrical Engineering Education study program of the Industrial Electronics division 2018. The study was conducted online in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic situation. The feasibility test of the module is carried out by leading discussions and reviews with experts on the material to be presented. Respondents gave a positive response to the module. The results provide the conclusion that the sensor programming tutorial module that has been produced is suitable for use as a tutorial module in sensor and microcontroller practicum courses and can be used in learning in a pandemic situation
