DEVELOPMENT OF INTERACTIVE WEBSITE AS COMPUTER-MEDIATED COMMUNICATION MEDIA FOR COMPUTER NETWORKS INSTRUCTION
Abstract
The research aimed at developing an appropriate interactive website which serves as computer-mediated communication (CMC), that supports the learning process of Computer Network, evaluated on the bases of learning, content, layout and programming. This research and development was carried out through a set of procedures involving planning, design, development and implementation. This research was conducted in Educational Technology Department, Faculty of Educational Science, YSU. The research findings showed that the interactive website providing computer-mediated communication has been considered appropriate for use. In term of learning aspect, this website was scored 4.16 or ‘good’ by the first content expert and 4.33 or very good by the second content expert. Meanwhile, its material aspect was scored 4.72 by the first content expert and 4.45 by the second. Both mean scores are categorized as very good. Its media appropriateness was considered very good by both media experts, each of whom scored 4.55 and 4.6 respectively.
