This research is aimed to produce an online teaching model for digital technique and its supporting instrument, and to determine the feasibility and the learning impact of the developed model, so that it can be used to assist the lecturers of Electrical Engineering Department and other related departments in conducting flexible and low cost practicum.udThis research was conducted through development steps consisting of preliminary study, planning, preliminary product development, preliminary test, main product revision, field test, final product revision and product dissemination. The product was tested by some experts of learning multimedia, digital engineering, e-learning and instructional design. To find out the validity of the developed hypothetical model, a Delphi technique was used based on the consensus accepted by the experts. The consensus included the aspects of (1) identification of the problem through a needs analysis, (2) determination of priority (type and products manufacture), (3) determination of program objectives, and (4) determination of the problem solution. The next step was tryout of the model to 10 instructors and 25 students of the Electrical Engineering Department. This test was used to determine the learning impact and the subjects’ perception of the implementation of the products in a practical activity. The final consensus of the validity obtained from the experts and the perception of the subjects of the research was analyzed using the percentage method. Meanwhile, the determination of learning impact was done using the different average scores of the subjects.udThis research has developed an online teaching model and its supporting resources for digital technique practicum. This result could be implemented with more flexible and low cost to support the practicum in higher education. The learning resources obtained are the Virtual Laboratory Portal (http://elab.uad.ac.id), A Manual for an Online Learning Model for Practicum, Lessons Plan for Digital Technique, Digital Technique Textbook, A Manual for Breadboard Simulator, A Manual for Online Practicum for Lecturers/Instructors/Students, and A Manual for Digital Technique Practicum with the guided inquiry method. This research has also proven that the developed product has a positive impact on learning, i.e. it can improve the students’ learning achievement significantly. The products also get good perception from the subjects in relation to the instructional and performance aspects.
