The application of electronics and internet technology in the current education system is increased tremendously to enhance the students learning activities. One example is an electronic educational kit or simulator which adopted in the classroom to supplement the formal teaching and learning methodology. The educational kit offers attractive and fun learning experiences that possibly enhance the student’s interest and knowledge as compared to ineffective and boring traditional lectures. The objective of this works is to design and develop a prototype of an educational quiz board (named Looping Board) that is automatic, cost-effective, portable, and interactive. This prototype comprises of quiz assessment module that is used to evaluate the students’ knowledge of translating the transfer function of an electrical circuit to its equivalent electrical circuit. Looping Board is developed using Arduino Mega 2560 as the microcontroller, resistors, and female header pin as the inputs, LEDs as the output, and Bluetooth HC-05 module used as a communication device to connect between Arduino and the smartphone. MIT apps inventor is applied to develop smartphone application which consisting of questions and answers of Laplace Transform. To measure and evaluate the effectiveness of the prototype, a survey has been carried out among 50 respondents at the Faculty of Electrical & Electronics Engineering Technology in Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka. Based on the result, more than 60% of students have agreed the Looping Board is useful in enhancing student’s interest and knowledge.
