Development of the ITSJava Application as a Computer-assisted Learning Media in Object-Oriented Programming Courses

This research aims to develop ITSJava application as an interactive learning media for object-oriented programming (OOP) course in information technology education programme at Gorontalo State University. ITSJava was developed using the Personal Xtreme Programming (PXP) development method which consists of six stages: needs identification, planning, initial iteration, design, implementation, and system testing. The results of system testing show that the ITSJava application is suitable for use as a medium for learning OOP. This system can help students learn OOP in an interactive and adaptive way to students' learning styles. Hopefully, this system can be further developed by adding a unit test function to ensure the accuracy of the program code written by students and ensure that the code runs according to the expectations and logic expected by the lecturer.
