The rapid advancement of technology has penetrated in all fields, including education. The use of electronic devices both your computer and mobile phone had already become commonplace among students. The application of Microsoft <br /> <br /> Excel on a computer can be used as a medium of learning that is not time and space bound. Making the simulation by using Visual Basic for Application (VBA) in Microsoft Excel expected to help students understand the concept of spring oscillation. In addition, from the data Redwing Asia mentioned that mobile phone ownership in the age group 15-19 years ranked first. So with the manufacture of <br /> <br /> mobile learning data is also expected to be one of learning media for students. This study makes mobile learning a spring oscillation using eclipse software and <br /> <br /> can be run using a minimum of Android 2.2-based smartphone. Making the simulation by using Visual Basic for Application (VBA) and mobile learning can mengsimulasikan simple harmonic oscillations, damped oscillations and forced oscillations on the spring. Making the learning media is a computer or mobile phone provides several benefits including learning content can be packaged in a more pleasant, able to make phone that initially only for sms, telephone, or internet into a complete learning tool both material and simulation. Besides physics concepts that are abstract or difficult experiment because of the limitations of tools and face-to-face hours at school can divisualikasikan with the <br /> <br /> help of simulation.
