Knowledge is a valuable asset for businesses that have to be managed by storing and sharing it in a knowledge management system. Managing knowledge is also purposed to standardized knowledge shared through training. INFINITIGROUP is a system integrator company that wanted to do roadshows and initiate robotics training across Indonesia by utilizing an educational robotic arm named Dobot Magician. The company needed e-learning or knowledge management system to support training and knowledge sharing process. This research dealt with e-learning development to standardize and support knowledge sharing effectively and efficiently. ADDIE model and prototyping-based methodology were used to develop the e-learning. Various content was developed based on a structured curriculum developed. The e-learning configuration was done in four prototyping cycles to understand and satisfy user needs for e-learning. E-Learning developed consisted of four courses and various learning media and features considering learning styles and human factors. The e-learning was evaluated through the user acceptance test with the EESS survey model. The results showed that users satisfied with the e-learning that provides various media, understandable information, and remarkable system and service performance so it is implemented to facilitate knowledge transfer to students effectively and efficiently.

Keywords: Knowledge, Knowledge Management System, E-Learning, Prototyping- Based, ADDIE Model, Learning Styles.

Jessica Florencia 4. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Firstly, I give my special gratitude to the Lord for his blessings and guidance so I can finish this thesis work. I realize that without Him, I would not be possible to reach this point. Praise the Lord!

Secondly, I want to thank people in INFINITIGROUP, especially Mr. Ardinal, Mr.

Indra, and Mr. Timan, for allowing me to do thesis and research in their project. I also want to give my deepest gratitude for all ASPERIO team member, Mr. Hanif, Mr.

Bagus, Mr. Karisna, and Mr. Raditya who guided me and taught me a lot about the robotic arm and learning material development.

I am grateful for having a loving family that fully supports and encourages me, start from the beginning of the thesis idea. I thank God for them because they supported me all the time and made me less stressed with their endless love and warm atmosphere at home.

Lastly, I give my gratitude to all my Industrial Engineering 2016 families for walking together in these four years. I am blessed to have such amazing classmates.
