Teaching aids are among the most important instruments in providing effective delivery results as well as the best understanding to students. Therefore, this teaching aid should also be in the Thermodynamics course and among the topics whose concept is quite difficult to understand by students is Boyles Law in the topic of Perfect Gas. Boyle's law is used to explain the inverse relationship between pressure and gas volume at a constant temperature. This law states that when the pressure of the container is filled with increasing gas, then the total volume will decrease. Boyles' Law on the topic of Perfect Gas is also one of the important topics and it is the basis in Thermodynamics. This paper is about the development of Boyle's Law Apparatus (BLA) teaching aids (TA) for the DJJ20063 Thermodynamics course at Port Dickson Polytechnic which is an apparatus that can explain to students related to the basic concepts of Boyle's Law. In addition, this teaching aids can also help lecturers in providing a better understanding to students who take Thermodynamics courses. The production of this tool is not only used by lecturers in the theory class but also this tool can also be used for practical needs in the laboratory. In conclusion, a suitable apparatus for explaining Boyle's Law to students has been successfully designed and developed. In this regard, hopefully the innovation of this teaching aids will be able to benefit all parties in improving the teaching and learning system, especially for Thermodynamics course.

Current technological developments greatly impact the assessment verification system. To find out the student benchmarks in the results of teaching and learning activities during the learning system assessment process is very important in the scope of higher education. With the existence of blockchain technology widely applied in the world of Education, having the advantage of a decentralized system and strong cryptography can help universities in building infrastructure. Universitas Raharja is one of the educational institutions that has implemented an online assessment system (PEN +), which will use blockchain technology to verify the assessment of independent studies. which provides services to Raharja University lecturers in verifying student grades that can be accessed anywhere and at any time. However, currently the verification process for the independent study assessment that has been carried out is still done manually which results in verification not with very strong security. The existence of an independent study assessment verification uses blockchain technology to produce strong data security that did not occur before. In the PEN + lecturer assessment system for the independent study assessment verification process, it cannot yet enter the value of Independent study (IS) in real time. Therefore, there is a need for development in this blockchain technology for the verification process of independent study assessment. In this study there were 10 (ten) literary studies on verification of valuation. Thus there are several benefits that lecturers need not hesitate to verify the assessment, the process by using blockchain technology produces very strong security.

The COVID-19 pandemic that has recently hit various countries including Indonesia has resulted in major changes in various fields, including in the development of the education sector. The teaching and learning process has turned from face-to-face into an online method. However, there are several obstacles experienced by schools that implement an online learning system, one of them was the ability of teachers who do not understand various learning application platforms. In addition, the material provided by the teacher is not maximally acceptable to students because most teachers provide learning material from the pages of textbooks or teacher writings (scans, photos, or presentation files). For this reason, it is necessary to have variations in the provision of teaching materials to students by making interesting and creative learning videos using the Movavi Education Set. With learning videos, students can do lessons at home, repeat it, and can ask the teacher some points from it if they don't understand. By using Movavi Education Set, teachers are also free to be creative in making learning videos that can be shared through commonly used communication applications such as e-mail, WhatsApp, line, google classroom and other applications.
