Development of web-virtual laboratory to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of remedial learning

The industrial revolution 4.0 demands universities to improve the quality of the
graduates, while the competency standards have not yet been fully achieved. This study aims to
build a virtual laboratory (V-Lab) as an independent practicum media through remedial learning.
The development of V-Lab used the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) model with the
software Code Codeigniter and PHP 7.2, while the database used MySQL and PostgreSQL. The
testing was done with Stub Testing, Unit Testing and inspection with Integration Testing for
interactions between modules. The test results showed high feasibility in design, representation
of user needs, reliability, security system, and the ease of the usage. The V-Lab is also able to
increase the learning motivation of the students and have an impact on increasing student
learning outcomes. While efficiency can be improved on the aspects of time flexibility, place of
learning, facilities and cost savings because the learning is virtual. This study recommends VLab as an effective and efficient remedial learning through a virtual laboratory.
