Observation result in cell biology (CB) learning showed that most students assumed cell biology as a complex and abstract material. The level of conceptual understanding was still relatively low observable from inadequate test results. Misconception on cell structure as a dense and non-porous structure was reported; this can be seen from students’ drawing on cell membranes. One solution to overcome the above problem was to develop contemporary teaching materials in the form of e-module based on Edmodo mobile (based android) so that students can easily access them by their smartphone. The research objective was to develop an Edmodo android cell biology module. Research and development (R&D) method were applied in this study. The development model used was Thiagarajan 4D, which is defined, design, and develop. The instruments used were the e-module validation questionnaire by experts (material and media experts, practitioners) and the feasibility test questionnaire on 24 students. The result showed that Edmodo mobile on CB developed through Thiagarajan 4D has valid criteria. Thus, it can be used in cell biology learning.

A more interactive and fun microbiology learning solution by utilizing information technology is the development of interactive multimedia of microbiological material based on Edmodo Android. The purpose of this research is to produce interactive multimedia microbiology based on Edmodo Android. The research method used is research and development. Interactive multimedia microbiology based on Edmodo Android developed with Thiagarajan development model. The research is done through define stage, design stage, and develop stage. The data of the research are validation questionnaire from media experts, microbiology material experts, and practitioners. The research data is corrected by using the percentage of eligibility criteria.
