Information technology-based learning has become increasingly important in modern education, especially as institutions continue adapting to the demands of digital transformation. In this context, Google Sites offers a practical and accessible platform for developing digital learning media that can enhance both teaching and learning experiences. The study titled Penerapan Media Belajar Berbasis Digital Google Site Dalam Pembelajaran Lingkungan examines how Google Sites can be used to transform conventional environmental learning into a more interactive and efficient digital format. Conducted using a Research and Development (R&D) approach, the study involved stages of needs analysis, media design, UI/UX evaluation, and testing of learning efficiency. The research included 27 respondents selected from a population of 30 lecturers and students in the Plantation Management Study Program using random sampling based on the Krejcie and Morgan table.
The findings reveal a strong demand for digital learning media in the post-pandemic era, when online and hybrid learning models have become increasingly common. The Google Sites-based learning platform was found to significantly improve learning efficiency compared with conventional online presentations, as students could access organized materials, multimedia resources, and supporting content more easily. In addition, the platform received positive evaluations in terms of user interface (UI) and user experience (UX), with respondents highlighting its accessibility, ease of navigation, and integration with other Google services. As a free and open-source tool, Google Sites provides an effective, low-cost solution for educators seeking to create engaging and sustainable digital learning environments, particularly in environmental education where visual and interactive content can substantially improve student understanding.
