Institutions are currently progressing on IT development and maximization in order to advance for good IT governance. Lack of comprehensive requirements analysis of IT utilization may lead to hindrances within IT development from achieving effective outcomes. This quantitative study employs control objective for information & related technology (COBIT 5) business framework to assess and identify the maturity level of IT service, primarily within the domain of delivery, service, and support (DSS). Data were obtained through questionnaire, observation, and documentation. The result reveals that the average maturity level of IT service is in level 3 (established); by which the study recommends for enhancements and upgrades in IT performance and service within the scope of compliance and IT service application and support.

Upaya meningkatkan minat belajar siswa melalui pengembangan media pembelajaran yang menarik masih menjadi kendala dan tantangan utama yang dihadapi oleh guru pada materi Logika dan Algoritma Komputer di SMK Negeri 1 Suwawa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan media pembelajaran komik untuk materi Logika dan Algoritma Komputer yang dapat menarik minat belajar siswa kelas X. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah Research and Development (R&D) dengan model pengembangan Hannafin dan Peck yang terdiri dari 3 fase, yaitu: analisis kebutuhan, desain, serta pengembangan dan implementasi. Media pembelajaran yang dikembangkan telah memperoleh penilaian oleh ahli materi, dan ahli media serta telah di uji respon dari siswa sebagai pengguna kelayakan dengan kategori kelayakan sangat layak. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan media pembelajaran komik yang dikembangkan dinyatakan valid dan praktis untuk digunakan dalam proses pembelajaran materi Logika dan Algoritma Komputer. Efforts to increase students’ learning interests by developing an attractive learning media is the primary challenge for teachers of Logic and Computer Algorithm at SMK Negeri 1 Suwawa Senior High School. This research aims to develop comics as a learning medium for Logic and Computer Algorithm that may stimulate tenth-grade students’ learning interests. This R&D study, employing Hannafin and Peck’s development model, consisted of three stages, namely: needs assessment, design, and development and implementation. Material experts and media experts have assessed the developed learning media. It also has been tested on students as eligible users; they responded that the media was feasible. The research showed that comic as the developed learning media was declared as valid and practical to be used in Logic and Computer Algorithm subject’s learning process.

This research is a type of research and development that aims to develop and test the effectiveness of using smartphone-based interactive multimedia products using smart apps creator (SAC), which was developed through the development of the ADDIE model (Analyze, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). The research subjects were teachers and students of class X IPA 1 SMAN 4 Gorontalo, as many as 28 students. The product is considered suitable for use based on the validity criteria from the assessment of the material, media, and learning design experts. The product is also considered effective based on the learning outcomes of students with a one-group pretest-posttest experimental design. From the results of statistical analysis with the paired sample T-test where the value of  is 12,560 and the value of  is 2,05183, then . So, the hypothesis that there are differences in learning outcomes before using the product and after using the multimedia product is accepted. Then the effectiveness category is determined through the gain score test with the average gain score of 0.62 with a moderate classification and for the average percentage gain score of 62.25% with a fairly effective category.
