Abstract
This paper discusses the developing of data synchronization for a Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI). Data synchronization is essential because now CAI can use as a complementary system for the Learning Management System or LMS. The use of LMS is prevalent in Indonesia, one of which is Moodle. The use of CAI to simplify learning activities is beneficial because students can learn anywhere and anytime, both online and offline. CAI allows to store all activities data and to send learning results to LMS at any time. The data become essential information for the lecture to carry out the task of supervising the activities and development of students learning. One of the advantages of using CAI is that students can run CAI modules with the various devices, e.g., computer, laptop, smartphone, or tab. The student also can use CAI anytime for specific chapter randomly. A student does not care the sequence of the chapter, and they the learning activity or schedule. Thus this appears a new problem because the use of various types of devices and many chapters make the data generated are also scattered in various devices while a lecturer needs complete and updated information. Therefore, we must implement a synchronization system in CAI. With synchronization, students can make learning activities comfortably without feeling like losing their activities data. An essential result of this study is the students becomes freer to study because they can do it anywhere, anytime, either internet is available or not, and with any devices.
