Application of Fuzzy Delphi Method in the Design of Reading Digital Modul for University Students in Riau

The current digital era also demands that English lecturers develop digital-based teaching materials. This study aimed to explore the application of the Fuzzy Delphi Method in the design of reading digital modules for university students in Riau since it benefits to improve students’ reading abilities and comprehension. This study answered the research question about the expert evaluations and feedback on the developed e-module regarding appearance/layout interface/navigation, content, reading strategies, language module, and the relevance of the e-reading module. Ten experts chosen from academic higher education or university for their specialization in English teaching, educational technology, and module development were involved in evaluating and providing feedback, ideas, and agreement on the things required to create and implement the digital reading module. The study employed the Fuzzy Delphi Method to synthesize expert perspectives and prioritize these criteria, allowing for a complete framework for digital module development. The FDM was employed to reach an expert agreement on the module’s critical design elements. The findings demonstrate the effectiveness of FDM in improving module design through consensus building and uncertainty management, thus contributing to improving educational practices in the digital era. The research results can make it easy to access the module and independently learn the course in unlimited time with interactive content.
