In order to improve a classroom engagement in learning one specific lesson, for instance, in Management Information System (MIS) subject, certainly there is an extra effort need to be done. MIS originally is a quite technical lesson that requires adequate prior knowledge on Management and Information system. Clearly, MIS is something new for secretary study program students. As a lecturer, we need to shift from becoming the centre of learning rather than to lead students to become more active in the learning process (student - centered learning). In relation to that, a classroom action research (CAR) is needed urgently to help both lecturer and students running the class effectively. This time, the researcher tries to implement a Jigsaw learning type throughout two stages and phases. Hopefully, all students who learn one of MIS chapter which is about ‘The role of Information to increase product and service quality’ could understand the topic better than before using Jigsaw. Then, finally all secretary students who enrolled in this class could achieve a good mark in the final exam.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, education and training activities began to shift to online classes. The problem is, the training carried out is only limited to theory-based training, not practical training. The current situation raises new possibilities in changing the learning method to fully online classes, with the character of vocational education, namely student-centered learning. The expected advantage is that education can be applied anywhere, this article explains how education providers develop research and development with the ADDIE method to analyze curriculum and learning models by promoting project-based learning methods where students are expected to be able to develop actively in learning. The TRBU Study Program designed the Arduino IDE microcontroller online training using free TinkerCad simulation with asynchronous learning materials through the LMS and supported by online classes using the zoom application. The results showed that 42.9% of students have high interest in online workshop and 92.9% agree that this online course needs to be re-implemented.
