Mobile learning has been used in the learning process in several tertiary institutions in Indonesia. However, several universities have not been able to implement mobile learning due to the limitations of computer and network infrastructure. Cloud computing is a solution for agencies that experience limitations in computer infrastructure in the form of internet-based services for their customers. This paper discusses the implementation of mobile cloud learning which is a combination of mobile learning technology and cloud computing using the renewal DeLone and McLean Model which is a successful model to measure how important the implementation of a mobile cloud learning system is. The results showed that from the F test results obtained Fcount of 13,222, then Fcount> Ftable (13,222> 3.01), then Ho was rejected and H1 was accepted. So it can be concluded Information Quality, System Quality, and Service Quality together affect the Intensity of Use.

Kegiatan pendampingan bagi tutor (pendidik) merupakan kegiatan tindak lanjut dari program pelatihan, yang sangat diperlukan  bagi tutor  agar mereka mampu menerapkan apa yang telah dipelajari selama pelatihan ke dalam tugas mengelola pembelajaran yang  nyata di kelas. Hal ini disebabkan tutor acapkali mengalami kendala sikap kurang percaya diri,  takut salah dan kurang kreatif menghadapi peserta didik pada kelas yang real dan terbatasnya pengalaman kerja..  Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan memberikan pendampingan bagi tutor pada PKBM (Pusat Kegiatan Belajar Masyarakat) dalam bentuk bimbingan teknis dengan model ICARE (Introduction, Connection, Application, Reflection, Extension) berdasarkan identifikasi masalah kelemahan tutor yakni merancang perangkat lembar kerja yang baik. Penerapan pendampingan dengan model ICARE dapat memberikan peluang tutor untuk mengetahui kelemahan atau masalahnya, menemukan ide-ide perbaikan, mencobakan ide baru untuk memecahkan masalahnya dan mengembangkannya yang lebih baik. Kegiatan pengabdian dalam bentuk pendampingan tutor dengan model ICARE merupakan alat pemberdayaan dan pengembangan personal tutor yang sangat efektif membantu tutor memecahkan masalah mempraktekkan atau mentransfer pengalaman belajar  baru  yang diperoleh selama mengikuti pelatihan ke dalam praktek kinerja mengelola pembelajaran yang sesuai dengan kharakteristik kemampuan peserta didik, sesuai dengan visi, misi dan tujuan program lembaga. Hasil akhirnya tercapai pembelajaran yang bermutu, perbaikan kinerja tutor menuju profesional pada satuan pendidikan luar sekolah yang dikelola PKBM.

Environment-based learning is needed to increase student’s activity through environmental empowerment, which can solve the problems in society as well as to improve students’ scientific literacy. The objective of this research was to analyze the effectiveness of environment-based thematic learning on fourth grade by contextual approach in improving students' scientific literacy skills. This research is a quasi-experimental research by implemented Environmental-Based Thematic Learning Tools (EBTLT). The subject of this research is determined by purposive cluster. They were 25 students as control class, 33 students as the experiment class 1, and 27 students as the experiment class 2. The data analysis was used completeness test, N-Gain analysis, and independent sample t-test. The results showed that the first experimental class and second experimental class students achieve classical completeness > 75%, the value has increased after implemented EBTLT in high category. The average score of science literacy skills and student activity in both experimental class was higher than that of the control class. It can be concluded that students who received EBTLT more effective in improving science literacy skills than students who received basic learning and the activities can create character values for learners
