DESIGN OF PROTOTYPE ADAPTIVE MOBILE LEARNING APPLICATION AGAINTS AMBIENT LIGHT SENSOR OF ANDROID DEVICES

ABSTRACT: Mobile learning can be accessed and applied anywhere and anytime. However, this learning has an obstacle to control learning confortness. The effectiveness of learning can be supported by creating a learning confortness. The various learning comfortness of learners can be disturbed if the learning activities are not suit well with personal needs. So an adaptive mobile learning can overcome these obstacle. The aims of this research is to create and validate a formulations of adaptive mobile learning through developing a prototype application that able to adjust screen brightness based on surrounding light conditions of learners using ambient light sensors. The Method of this research using scientific method which consisted of four steps, there are conceptualizing a problem, collectiong data, analizing the data, and drawing conclusions by developing an adaptive application and validate it to create conclusions. In this research the validation process has been conducted by taking questionnaires. The questionnaires is a closed questionnaire which has provided the answers so respondents can directly choose the appropriate answers with giving a check mark (√) in the column answers that have been provided. Of the overall data processing validation, the results has been obtained of 86.17 percentage, which means that the formulations of an adaptive mobile learning that has been created and validated by developing a prototype of adaptive mobile learning application are included in the category of valid and feasible to use.
