Abstract


Digital literacy skills are essential skills for working in a digital society. Therefore, the university emphasizes teaching and finding ways to assess knowledge and prepare students before completing their studies. This research aims to present the conceptual framework for developing an adaptive tutorial system to assist undergraduate students in preparing for the digital literacy exit exam. This system's unique feature is not only the exam for students to practice reviewing their knowledge but also the exam's adaptability to the student's abilities. In addition, this concept is reinforced through gamification by incorporating game elements to motivate, increase the difficulty of competition and make exam preparation enjoyable. Learners are motivated to try harder on the exam. In the conceptual framework evaluation, a questionnaire was used to measure the system's suitability. The system design was evaluated by seven experts who determined that the components and procedures of the tutorial system were appropriate. This system's development is valid and can be applied to creating a tutorial system that enhances digital literacy skills.
