Chemistry Lecturer Ana Yulvia Introduces SpectraHub, an Integrated Digital Platform for Spectroscopy Learning at FMIPA UNEJ

News, Student, , , ,

To improve the quality of spectroscopy learning at FMIPA University of Jember, Ana Yulvia, M.Si., a chemistry lecturer, successfully developed SpectraHub. It is a digital platform designed to make it easier for students and lecturers to access spectroscopy materials. Ana came up with the idea for SpectraHub after observing and analyzing the needs of students, especially in the course Penentuan Struktur Senyawa Organik. “I noticed that many learning resources for spectroscopy were scattered across various media without a central location,” she explained.

According to Ana, the lack of a centralized platform made it difficult for students to easily access materials, which were often only available in text or static PDFs. This platform is part of Ana’s effort following basic civil servant training that she attended from September 10 to November 16, 2024. It reflects the values of the ASN  BerAKHLAK framework, particularly focusing on service orientation and accountability in her role as an educator. Continue reading →
