Abstract—This research aims at producing mobile learning for a student that uses smartphone-based Android as a learning media application in Alternative Energy course. The learning media is served through Android application in smartphone/tablet. The method for this research is Research and Development (R/D). The stages of this research are started with the making of learning media application using MIT Inventor 2 open-source web for Alternative Energy course that provides lesson material along with exercises in the application, next stage is application feasibility test. The indicators for evaluating the learning media are; (1) Material, (2) the quality of the design, and (3) language. This application is tested by media expert, lecturer, and college students. The result is the average percentage is 82.3% of evaluation scale so this learning media is categorized as very good. From the result, it is concluded that learning media which takes mobile application using MIT Inventor 2 and Android for the basis is very suitable for learning media of alternative energy course.
