Abstract

The evolution of technology and the COVID-19 pandemic have accelerated the adoption of blended learning in higher education, including in vocational institutions. However, infrastructure readiness plays a pivotal role in the success of this implementation, especially in practice-based technical education. This study aims to assess the level of infrastructure readiness for supporting blended learning at the Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Negeri Padang, and to identify supporting and hindering factors. A quantitative descriptive survey method was used, with data collected through observations, interviews, and document analysis. The results showed that the infrastructure readiness level reached 65.11%, indicating moderate compliance with national standards as outlined in the Ministry of Education Regulation No. 3/2020. The main challenges identified include mismatches between equipment procurement and space availability, limited internet connectivity, and underutilized e-learning applications. Supporting factors included increased digital devices, provision of internet data for students and lecturers, and improvements in e-learning platforms. These findings highlight the need for continuous reinforcement of digital infrastructure to ensure the effectiveness of blended learning in the post-pandemic era.

Abstract

Manual hydroponic techniques still make it difficult for farmers to control nutrients accurately, so new innovations are needed to make it easier for farmers to farm with hydroponic methods. This study aims to develop hydroponic farming using internet of things technology. This study was conducted using an experimental method. With this method, researchers took some data such as volume, temperature nutrients and water pH and then compared them with actual values. The author also took some component stress measurement data and then compared it with the component datasheet to determine the condition and suitability of the component. The research object used is celery plants. The test results prove that the development of monitoring and control technology for hydroponic planting media has been successfully carried out. Testing proves that the system can automatically control nutrients and pH and monitor the condition of the planting media at the same time. When nutrients are added, the pH of the water decreases because the graph of increasing nutrients is inversely proportional to the decrease in water pH. When the pH of the water decreases, the motor automatically turns on to increase the pH to the ideal value. Thus, farmers can more easily control the nutrients in the planting media.
