Abstract

The rapid advancement of the digital industry requires vocational education in Indonesia to undergo transformation, particularly in providing competency validation systems that are efficient, adaptive, and trustworthy. In reality, however, competency certification processes in many vocational institutions are still conducted manually and tend to be bureaucratic, limiting their ability to respond to the dynamic needs of industry. This condition may reduce graduates’ competitiveness and widen the skills gap between vocational education and the labor market. Micro-credentials have emerged as an innovative approach to recognizing competencies in a modular, flexible, and industry-oriented manner. Nevertheless, their implementation still faces significant challenges, especially in terms of validation speed, reliability, and transparency. To address these challenges, this study develops a micro-credential–based competency validation model integrated with blockchain technology through the use of smart contracts at Politeknik LP3I Medan. This research adopts a Research and Development (R&D) approach based on the Borg and Gall model, including needs analysis, learning module design, system development, limited trials, expert validation, and effectiveness evaluation. Alpha testing involving 15 students demonstrates a system success rate of 95%, with an average verification time of 14.4 seconds. Usability evaluation indicates that the system is user-friendly and well accepted.

Abstract

The water quality of the Ciujung River in Serang has experienced a significant decline due to domestic and industrial waste pollution, directly affecting public health and environmental sustainability. Current monitoring systems remain largely manual and lack responsiveness, resulting in delayed and less data-driven pollution management. This study aims to develop an Internet of Things (IoT)-based water quality monitoring system integrated with an intelligent dashboard to support sustainable environmental programs. The proposed system monitors key water quality parameters, including pH, temperature, turbidity, and total dissolved solids (TDS), in real time. The methodology includes designing a microcontroller-based sensor prototype, integrating data communication modules (LoRa/GSM), processing data via a cloud server, and implementing interactive visualization through a web-based dashboard. Furthermore, the system features an early warning mechanism when water parameters exceed environmental quality thresholds. Field trials are conducted at several strategic points along the Ciujung River to evaluate data acquisition reliability, connectivity stability, and sensor accuracy. The expected outcome is an efficient, responsive, and adaptive monitoring system that supports data-driven decision-making in river water management and reinforces commitments to sustainable development.

Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia continue to face inefficiencies in inventory management due to manual stock recording, data inconsistency, and delays in operational decision-making. In Serang City, these challenges often lead to stockouts, excess inventory, and limited business scalability. This study aims to develop and evaluate a mobile-based automated inventory management system that supports real-time stock monitoring and decision-making for MSMEs. The research employs a Research and Development (R&D) approach integrated with the Agile-Scrum methodology, encompassing problem identification, user requirement analysis, system design, prototype development, functional testing, and usability evaluation. Functional validation was conducted using black box testing, while system usability was assessed using the System Usability Scale (SUS) involving 15 MSME users. The results indicate that all core system functions achieved a 100% success rate, including automated stock recording, cloud-based data synchronization, real-time notifications, and dashboard analytics. The usability evaluation produced an average SUS score of 82.5, classified as Excellent, indicating high user acceptance and ease of use. These findings demonstrate that the proposed system effectively improves inventory accuracy, operational efficiency, and decision-making quality, contributing to MSME digital transformation in developing regions.

Abstract

The rapid growth of mobile technologies has reshaped how learning systems are designed, deployed, and evaluated, particularly in vocational education contexts. From a Mobile Software Engineering perspective, learning platforms must address constraints such as short interaction cycles, heterogeneous devices, scalability, and real-time analytics. This study focuses on the design and engineering of an AI-enabled mobile microlearning application that integrates short-form video, learning analytics, and LMS services to support vocational students’ soft-skills development. The proposed system is engineered as a mobile-first application with modular micro-content (60–180 seconds), rule-based personalization, and event-driven analytics to capture user interaction patterns. A Research and Development approach using the ADDIE framework is adopted, with emphasis on the software design, architecture, and prototyping stages. Validation involves expert review of system usability, content–software alignment, and limited pilot testing with end users. The results demonstrate that a mobile-engineered microlearning system can achieve high completion rates, acceptable latency under concurrent access, and effective analytics-driven feedback loops. The study contributes a practical mobile software engineering artefact and design insights for AI-enabled learning applications in vocational education.

Abstract

Digital transformation requires Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to enhance financial transparency and accountability in order to support Indonesia’s digital economic growth. This research is motivated by the limitations of traditional MSME accounting systems, which are still dominated by manual record-keeping, vulnerable to data manipulation, and characterized by limited access to digital accounting technologies. These conditions may reduce trust from business partners and financial institutions. Blockchain-based smart contract technology offers an innovative solution by enabling transparent, automated, and immutable financial transactions. This study aims to design a smart contract–based digital accounting system suitable for implementation by MSMEs in Medan City. The research adopts a Research and Development (R&D) approach combined with Design Science Research (DSR). The research stages include user needs identification, system design using the Solidity programming language, prototype development on the Ethereum Testnet, and testing through MSME transaction scenarios. System evaluation was conducted through functional testing and end-user interviews, revealing significant improvements in key financial accountability indicators, along with a high system usability score (SUS = 77.12) and strong adoption intention. The proposed system is expected to deliver a real-time, automated, and tamper-resistant accounting model that strengthens MSME financial accountability and competitiveness within the digital economy ecosystem..
