In the sphere of education, testing and enhancing students' comprehension is not a simple process. This is mirrored in the assessment results, where particular courses have a high failure rate. On the UiTM system, the high failure rate is defined as the proportion of students who fail a subject that exceeds the threshold of 25 percent. Therefore, topics exceeding this limit are deemed incapable of meeting the Academic Quality UiTM objective. In this study, Basic Hydraulic courses is chosen to be a pilot study as the failure rate is high for few semesters. A creative strategy and method of teaching and learning is being proposed to increase students' understanding of the course’s content as to overcome the related issue. A smartphone application known as Sahabat Maya Pelajar (SMa2P) has been introduced and integrated into the teaching and learning process. According to the examination records of the Basic Hydraulics course at the Faculty of Civil Engineering at UiTM Johor, the failure rate of this course is decrease. This is shown by comparing results between semesters of 20204 and 20212 which indicate the course failure rate decreased by 22% in the latter semester. Therefore, it is crucial to improve students' performance and comprehension by using digital tools as this platform able to incorporate interactive teaching approaches into classroom activities through smartphone application.
