Website Implementation as a Digital Promotion Media for the Community

Aulia Ichsan — 2026-03-07

The rapid development of information technology has encouraged communities to adopt digital media as a means of promotion and information dissemination. However, many community groups and small organizations still rely on conventional promotional methods that limit their outreach and effectiveness. This community service project aims to implement a website as a digital promotion medium to enhance the visibility and accessibility of community activities and products. The implementation process included needs assessment, website design and development, content creation, training, and evaluation. The website was developed using web technologies to ensure ease of access, user-friendliness, and efficient information management. Training sessions were conducted to improve participants’ skills in managing and updating website content independently. The results showed that the website improved the community’s ability to promote their activities and products more effectively and expanded their reach to a broader audience. In addition, participants demonstrated increased knowledge and skills in utilizing web-based technologies for digital promotion. Therefore, the implementation of a website as a digital promotion medium can support community empowerment and enhance digital literacy in the era of information technology.

Implementation of Private Cloud Infrastructure as a Service Using Proxmox VE Based on the Network Development Life Cycle (NDLC) Approach

Andi Zulherry — 2026-03-02

The rapid advancement of information technology has encouraged organizations to adopt cloud computing solutions to enhance efficiency, scalability, and flexibility. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is one of the essential service models that provides fundamental computing resources such as processing, storage, and networking. This study aims to implement a private cloud infrastructure using Proxmox Virtual Environment (Proxmox VE) as the main virtualization platform, guided by the Network Development Life Cycle (NDLC) approach. The NDLC methodology, which consists of analysis, design, simulation, implementation, monitoring, and management stages, ensures a systematic and structured development process. Proxmox VE, as an open-source platform, integrates Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) and container-based virtualization (LXC), providing high flexibility in managing virtual resources. The implementation results demonstrate that the private cloud infrastructure can efficiently allocate and manage resources while ensuring system scalability, reliability, and security. This research highlights that the combination of NDLC and Proxmox VE is effective in developing IaaS-based private cloud infrastructures, making it suitable for educational institutions, research environments, and organizational IT infrastructures.

The rapid development of smart technology has created new opportunities to enhance the quality and effectiveness of learning processes through the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI). This study aims to implement Artificial Intelligence as an adaptive learning tool that can personalize learning experiences based on students’ abilities and learning patterns. The system was designed to provide customized learning materials, automated feedback, and performance monitoring to support both students and teachers in the learning process. The implementation method involved needs analysis, system design, development of an AI-based learning platform, and evaluation through direct application in a classroom environment. The results showed that the use of Artificial Intelligence as an adaptive learning tool improved student engagement, facilitated personalized learning, and enhanced learning efficiency. Furthermore, teachers benefited from automated assessments and data-driven insights into student performance. The study concludes that Artificial Intelligence-based adaptive learning systems have significant potential to support smart education environments and improve overall learning outcomes. Future development should focus on expanding system features and integrating more advanced intelligent algorithms to optimize adaptive learning capabilities.

Implementation of a QR Code-Based Attendance System for Students Using Web Technology

Fanny Ramadhani — 2026-03-07

Student attendance recording is an essential component of academic administration, but conventional manual methods are often inefficient, prone to errors, and difficult to manage. This study aims to implement a web-based student attendance system utilizing QR Code technology to improve the efficiency and accuracy of attendance recording. The system was developed using a structured software development approach consisting of requirement analysis, system design, implementation, and testing phases. Each student is assigned a unique QR Code that can be scanned using a device with a camera, and the attendance data are automatically stored in a centralized database through a web application. The system provides several features, including user authentication, QR Code generation, attendance scanning, and automated report generation. Functional testing results indicate that the system operates effectively in recording attendance data and generating reports in real time. The implementation of the QR Code-based attendance system reduces manual errors, accelerates attendance processing, and improves data management efficiency. Therefore, the proposed system can serve as an effective solution for digital attendance management in educational institutions.

RAISING AWARENESS OF DIGITAL LITERACY AND INFORMATION SECURITY FOR THE YOUNG GENERATION IN SEMPAJAYA VILLAGE, BERASTAGI, KARO REGENCY, NORTH SUMATERA IN 2024

Gladys Nadira — 2026-03-07

The Community Service Program (KKN) in Sempajaya Village, Berastagi, North Sumatra, aims to improve digital literacy and awareness of information security among the community, especially the younger generation. This program focuses on counseling on the wise and safe use of technology in facing the ever-evolving digital era. Students educate the community about the importance of continuing education, the use of digital technology for daily activities, and practical steps in protecting personal data and preventing threats such as online fraud. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in the community's understanding of digital literacy and information security. This program is expected to prepare the younger generation of Sempajaya Village to utilize technology effectively, responsibly, and face digital challenges better, as well as support the development of village potential in the education, agriculture, and tourism sectors.
