Prototype Structure Design Process Using Information Flow Diagram (IFD) for Mobile Application Learning System

In the current digital technology age in education, using tools as learning aids to develop software for teaching is essential. There is a variety of software design tools, such as Data Flow Diagram (DFD) and Unified Modeling Language (UML), used to depict interactions between systems. However, these tools can be complex and burdensome for system developers, users, and investors who may not fully understand the system’s intricacies. Researchers have proposed a prototype software development framework using an Information Flow Diagram (IFD). It is approach simplifies the software design process, reduces the diversity of diagram designs, and yields genuine efficiency. Some educational institutions have already incorporated this new design tool for using Information Flow Diagram (IFD). There are curriculums, especially in software and engineering courses to teach students how to design mobile-based online plant tissue culture distribution learning system media easily, conveniently, and with fewer steps. This helps students grasp software design concepts more readily and enhances productivity for system developers, users, and investors, meeting their requirements clearly. Researchers aim to further develop software in the education sector, particularly in web development for mobile platforms, within the curriculum of the digital technology for learning innovation discipline in the future.
