Abstract. Education process which belongs to computer-assisted laboratory studies are considered one of the most difficult problems of higher education institutions. The subject of practical subjects in technical higher education institutions is complex and mainly requires explanation or demonstration in computer laboratory. These science topics emphasize on the use of observational skills, namely that students need to see the process in action and connect the theory more closely to reality. However, attitudes of students towards practical works are often negative because they don't give effect in laboratory work and this may reflect the notion that there is not clear purpose for practical assignments of student in the laboratory. The main purpose of this study is considered to study the effectiveness of active learning activities in the field of "Development of mobile application" on the basis of science program of Google Classroom's computer engineering specialty. In this research, a set of questionnaires was distributed to 100 students who enrolled in groups which teach "Development of mobile application". The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was used to organize the relationship between the factors which were identified in the data analysis and the effectiveness of the learning activities. The results show that the majority of students are satisfied with the Google Classroom tool which is provided in class which all rates are above average. Rates is particularly good in areas such as comfortability of access, acceptable utility, communication and interaction, teaching and student's satisfaction with learning activities in the Google Classroom.
