Digital Logic Design Laboratory using Autodesk Tinkercad and Google Classroom

Abstract

This paper evaluates the use of Autodesk Tinkercad and Google Classroom as online virtual laboratory platforms due to the rise of Covid-19 infection rate in Indonesia. This research limited the laboratory activities to Digital Logic Laboratory and focused on how to give the students equivalent experiences to in-person laboratory activities. The research used a questionnaire based on Acceptance Testing to explore students’ perception of three categories: platforms utilization, relevancy to the course contents, and user interface/user experience of the platforms. The survey results show that the platforms can provide similar experiences as conventional laboratory activities indicated by the median score of four ("Agree") for all the questions and average mean score 4.01.
