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.

“I involved both lecturers and students in testing the platform, gathering feedback, and refining it based on their suggestions,” she said. The development process included several stages, starting with consultations with mentors, gathering and classifying resources, and testing accessibility and responsive design. Ana received guidance from mentor Yeni Maulidah Muflihah, S.Si., M.Si., Ph.D., and coaching from Dr. Ir. M. Bakrun, M.M., during her basic civil servant training.

Helmi Azharudin, S.H., M.H., as an evaluator, also provided valuable input to improve the platform’s concept and functionality. “The support from Bu Yeni, Pak Bakrun, and constructive feedback from Pak Helmi were crucial in ensuring the development of this platform stayed effective and relevant,” Ana said. She also appreciated the technical support from Yoyok Yulianto, a member of the FMIPA UNEJ Web Team.

Yoyok’s role in providing and managing the digital infrastructure was key to ensuring that the SpectraHub platform was fast and stable. “Pak Yoyok made sure the technical aspects of the platform worked smoothly, so users could access it reliably,” Ana added.

SpectraHub now offers various features that make it easy for users to search, save, and access spectroscopy materials. Students who participated in the trial run said, “SpectraHub really helped us find materials that were hard to find in one place before. With the search and classification features, it’s much easier to study a specific topic without having to look through different sources.”

Lecturers in the Chemistry Department also participated in testing the platform and gave positive feedback. Tinok Dwi Ananda, S.Si., M.Si., stated that SpectraHub makes it much easier for lecturers to prepare learning materials. “The platform makes material access more structured, and lecturers can directly guide students to the right sources based on the topic being studied.”

In agreement with Tinok, Andriana Kusuma Pertiwi, S.Si., M.Si., also known as Bu Tiwi, said the platform is very beneficial in improving the quality of learning. “This platform not only helps students but also helps us as lecturers save time when searching for and preparing reference materials,” she explained. With its structured classification features, Tiwi believes the platform will be an important asset in the learning process at the Chemistry Department.

The launch of SpectraHub also supports FMIPA University of Jember’s vision of excelling in science and technology development with environmental awareness. SpectraHub is designed to make it easier to access a wide range of spectroscopy learning materials, in line with FMIPA’s mission to provide internationally recognized education while utilizing transparent and accountable information technology. Through this platform, students can access high-quality materials in a more structured and sustainable way.

Ana added that the development of this platform is ongoing. There will be continuous evaluation to ensure that SpectraHub stays relevant to the ever-evolving needs of education. She hopes that SpectraHub will continue to grow and provide long-term benefits to students and lecturers. “This platform is expected to not only serve as a learning resource but also create an interactive and integrated learning experience for chemistry students at the University of Jember,” she concluded.
