Optimization of Big Data-Based Interactive World History Babon Application Features as A Hybrid Learning Media for History Education Students

In 2021 the author conducted development research (PNBP UNIMED) which produced a Big Data-based World History Babon Book Application product as a distance learning medium. Therefore, this advanced development research is essential to carry out as an effort to perfect/optimize the Big Data-based Babon Book Application so that it has better performance, is more adaptive, more effective, and more efficient in meeting the needs of history education in higher education during the MBKM period, especially in the implementation of Hybrid Learning at UNIMED, especially in the Department of History Education. The method used in this research is the research and development method. This interactive World History Babon Book Application Optimization process uses the research and development (R&D) model by Borg and Gall (2003). The stages of the R&D development model include: a) the needs analysis stage; b) the design phase of teaching materials products; c) the stage of production/implementation of initial product development; d) material and media validation stage; e) revision stage; f) product testing phase; g) final revision stage and mass production; h) The last step in this research is the effectiveness test.
