5 User Guide This menu consists of some important buttons that the users have to learn
before using the media. In terms of appropriateness, the digital learning media has been suited to
cultural context as the main theme of this study. The digital learning media offers a Javanese version of Ramayana movie to introduce the users, in this case the
eighth grade students, to their culture. The digital learning media has got feedback from the expert judgment and given some suggestions. The suggestions
are mostly about paying attention to typos, considering the position of menus and
buttons, and improving some writing formats, but without changing the whole layout or design. Overall, the media has been appropriate to apply to the eight
grade students.
