摘要

Nowadays, the advancement of information and communication technology is growing rapidly, especially in the field of education, hence it is necessary to develop a learning media that is based on information and communication technology. The development of instructional media must be in accordance with the learning objectives. Besides, the learning media should be able to make students interested to learn independently as directed by the teacher. The aim of this research is to develop a history learning media in the form of online comic reading services (named Historytoon). The researcher tested the Historytoon application by conducting a formative evaluation involving students from a senior high school in Yogyakarta. Based on the testing on the learning media, a decent history learning media can be produced and the media itself can improve the understanding on the materials of the Indonesian National Movement History in the eleventh grade of senior high school.
