It would be better to check all of the reading texts and exercises and replace the incorrect diction selection with the correct one.
When the learning material was given to the experts to gain opinion and feedback, it was found that the scoring system for one or two
exercises didn’t work well. To support the whole system to work well, the error scoring system
should get careful attention and need to be revised. The first thing that needed to be done was checking the error, finding out the source of error and fixing it.
To guide the students in learning using the designed material, clear and concise navigation are the important key. However, in the learning material, the
navigation was not totally worked as expected. As a result, re-analysis and revision were the ultimate solution for this problem. By having user friendly
navigation, it would help the students much when they were working on the learning material
without depending on the teacher’s explanation. Thus, this would be one of the supporting features to promote autonomous learning in using
the learning material. Based on the feedbacks from the experts’ judgment, the lay-out needed to be
revised. It would be better to provide clean and interesting lay- out. It didn’t mean
that the current lay-out was not good but it needed to be re-arranged. By having simple yet interesting lay-out, it would ease the students in exploring the learning
material and eliminate their difficulties in operating the computer-assisted learning material. By doing so, the whole process would support the autonomous
learning among the students.

f. Final Product Revision
This part presented some steps conducted in the final revision phase of the products. It began with the revisions based on the feedbacks and suggestions from
the experts’ judgments. After revising, the material was given to the students to work on in order to gain their opinion and feedbacks towards the material. A set
of questionnaire was distributed to the students to let them gave their opinions and feedbacks. The next step was calculating and interpreting the questionnaire
results. As a final step, the material was revised based on the questionnaire results. The description for each steps were as follows.
1 The Revisions

b Revising the Scoring System
The material were developed mostly using Hot Potatoes which provided the scoring system also. When the writer created one exercises by using Hot Potatoes,

the system will automatically completed the exercises with scoring system. So when the students have finished working on one exercise and they hit submit
button, score that they get will be displayed. By using this, it eased the teachers’
work also in scoring the students exercises. Hot Potatoes itself haven’t provided a feature in which the students could record their scores for future documentation,
the score documentation system could be managed through manually record the score or save the score through capturing it using screenshot tool.
What became the problem in the learning material was that the scoring system was not a hundred percent work well. The error scoring system was found
in Warming Up section for the exercise for Describing Things. Ideally, the system will show the score for any correct numbers but for that exercise, the score always
showed as zero percent. To solve this problem, the writer rechecked the Hot Potatoes file for this exercise and revise it. Testing has been done after the
revision to make sure that the error scoring system will not show anymore. The comparison of the revised scoring system was presented in the following figures.
