Gquest is a mobile platform for administering interviewing and learning material. It relies on a model that supports adaptivity in the dialog with its users and enforces consistency rules to constrain their input. Gquest downloads its modules over the air making them available to the users, then a synchronization engine collects any input provided and sends it to a server for evaluation purposes. Thus, Gquest supports learning about user behaviors or preferences by administering interviewing material and collecting answers. However, by reversing the conversation paradigm it also supports the delivery of learning material. In this paper we illustrate a case study in which both paradigms have been exploited. First we implemented a guide for training patients on a rare disease called amyloidois, and second we integrated a plain questionnaire at the end of that guide to assess the quality of learning perceived by the user.

Some factors of low interresting of Mathematic learning material for student on Junior High School grade (SMP/MTs) are design of learning material that is less animation and  the difficuties of use the learning material. Therefore, the use of learning material should be inovated for increasing the learners’ interrest, to make them easy understanding the subject that has been learnt, and still capable to increase reigion value in their ownselves. One form of this effort is to create learning material in the form of flash mathematics with consits Islamic value. Flash application is an application that can be developed in accordance animatif developer creativity. The purpose of the research is the developing of learning material in the electric learning form that consists Islamic value in Transformation subject. The method of research is research and development, and the design of the research is using the steps of ADDIE model, there are analysis, design, development, implemetation, and evaluation. Data collection techniques included interviews and observations with research instruments are questionnaires, observation sheets and tests. Further analysis of the data conducted by researchers consists  of qualitative and quantitative analysis to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of the teaching materials developed. The results of the expert evaluation consisting of a material expert and a media expert, shows that the average velue obtained from every aspects: content quality and purpose,instructional quality of learning material, aspects of the charge Islamic value, and the technique quality was 4.37 that very good category. The results of the assessment by the teachers of Junior High School grade (MTs) Nurul Huda Munjul which consist of two Mathematics teacher and a teacher of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), shows that the average velue of each aspect was 4.46 with very good category. Than the student quationnaire responses result data obtained by the average velue of each aspects: the quality of learning and instructional, technical aspects of the display, and payload  integrition aspects of Islamic value in learning material, namely 3.98, with good categories. The data test scores of student learning outcomes gained an average of 82.34  > KKM (75) with the classical completeness of 89.19% > 85%. The conclusion showed that the quality of Mathematic learning materials charged Islamic velues are developed with macromedia flash and catamsia aplications is feasible and effective to be used in the learning process.

This pilot- study focused on the evaluation of Learning Objects for face-to-face and online education, proposing a set of quality indicators for design teams to consider while selecting learning material. The aim was to find out whether the Learning Objects were suitable enough to be used and/or reused. A sample of teachers, tutors and computer technicians of a graduate program in a Colombian university participated in the study. To analyze the data collected, indicators for the evaluation of the quality of Learning Objects were based on three main aspects: the role of the tutor and their previous experience, the design process, and the evaluation of the learning object. Conclusions established that a standardization of Learning Objects may be difficult, however, in order to be usable and reusable, these Learning Objects must all be flexible to adapt to students’ needs.

Facilities and infrastructures in education are essential to improve the quality of the teaching and learning process in schools. Principals are responsible for managing facilities and infrastructures in schools. The implementation of learning to teach in schools will be subjected to obstacles when facilities and infrastructure are inadequate. The purpose of this research is 1) describing the importance of facilities and infrastructure in improving the quality of learning, 2) Knowing how to plan, manage, use and maintenance of facilities and infrastructure in schools, 3) indicators Management of good infrastructure for the improvement of School quality 4) school readiness in preparing facilities and infrastructure to support learning in the 4.0 era. The case study used in MTS Muhammadiyah Sidomulyo. The research used in this research is descriptive qualitative research. Data collection techniques using interviews, observation, and documentation. The results of the research show that the headmaster is planning in fulfilling facilities and infrastructure tailored to the level of needs each year. The planning will be known as management indicators of any infrastructure which is a good or most significant influence on the improvement of the quality of the school. Precisely the use of facilities and infrastructure can improve the quality of learning in Mts Muhammadiyah Sidomulyo. Damaged facilities and infrastructure will be given repairs. If no longer repaired, the school will apply for new procurement. All parties in the school must maintain existing facilities, and infrastructures to improve the quality of learning.

Improving the quality of learning is an important factor that supports the achievement of progress in the field of education. In order to improve the quality of learning, it is necessary to apply innovative learning that follows the student-oriented learning paradigm. This study aims to describe the application of the Problem-based Learning Model by utilizing the environment as a learning resource to improve learning outcomes in biology. This classroom action research consisting of 2 research cycles and each cycle consists of four stages: (1) planning; (2) implementing actions; (3) observation and evaluation; (4) reflection. The study was conducted at Model 5 High School Palu. The subject of this research is Class X MIPA with 28 students. In this study the focus of learning material on biodiversity. The instruments used were student worksheets, student and teacher activity sheets, and student learning outcomes tests. The research data were displayed as a percentage and analyzed descriptively.  The learning outcomes of Class X Science 6 of SMA Negeri 5 Palu can be improved through the application of PBL learning models through the use of the environment. In cycle 1 students 'classical completeness was 71.66, while students' classical completeness in cycle 2 increased by 88.09. The classical absorption achieved in cycle 1 was 62.16%, increasing to 91.89% in cycle 2.

The aim of the study is to identify the importance of poster as a learning media that can be utilized in learning activities. It also aims to explore the learning outcomes of students who use poster as learning media. In Indonesia, high school students are not allowed to carry a mobile phone, while the school on the other hand, does not provide enough computers for all students. The school computer laboratory could only cater for students need interchangeably. Therefore, teachers in schools choose other media that they think are effective, such as poster media. The poster media was seemed very relevant and appropriate to improve the quality of learning and student achievement. This study involved both qualitative and quantitative research method through Four-D model (Define, Design, Development, and Dissemination) that used for the learning material development. The data was collected through interview with two experts and experimental research design among two groups of students. The qualitative data were analyzed and the experimental data was tested using T-test statistical analysis. The learning outcomes with poster as learning media showed the mean values of the control and experimental groups were, respectively, 60.97 and 85.86. It indicated the difference in learning outcomes of 24.89. The produced poster was also assessed by media experts and curriculum experts. This study recommended that poster is very feasible and relevant to be utilized as a form of learning media in improving quality of learning and engagement with students.
