This study focuses on data collection through interviews and direct observation at every practicum activity carried out. After evaluating the program, it can be concluded that the program entered a good category with an acquisition value of 84.21% and got a B award. Therefore, the program can be accepted but must be developed even better by developing software in digital objects. There is no need to provide tools and materials because they are in digital format. Development is needed so that the percentage of success of this program can reach a higher number. Action is required so that the rate of success of this program can get a higher number.
