Abstract

Amid rapid technological advancement, vocational education requires innovative learning strategies to address evolving student needs. This study aims to develop a digital handout using smart apps creator (SAC) for the subject of creative projects and entrepreneurship, specifically focusing on promotional media marketing. Following the ADDIE model, the research successfully completed the analysis, design, and development phases, which involved a limited trial with 36 vocational students at SMKN 2 Mojokerto. Data collection utilized validation instruments adapted from Indonesian National Education Standards Board guidelines. Findings indicate that the SAC-based digital handout is highly feasible, with average validation scores reaching 95% from the content specialist, 98% from the media expert, and 96% from the language expert. Furthermore, student response during the field trial reached 91.05%, placing the product in the highly practical category. This interactive resource effectively minimizes classroom boredom, enhances learning engagement through mobile access, and proves highly appropriate for vocational instructional implementation in the current digital era.
