MOBILE LEARNING FOR EDUCATION : STRUCDEE MOBILE APPS

Abstract

STRUCDEE MOBILE APPS is an application that will be produced by us in addressing the problems of students, especially civil engineering in answering questions related to Shear Force Diagram (SFD) and Bending Moment Diagram (BMD). Our main purpose in the production of this application is to apply the use of technology in the Education sector especially in civil engineering. As we see now, as a result of the Corona Virus disease outbreak (COVID 19) the Education sector is experiencing huge problems as most of the institutes of learning have been closed for not wanting the virus to spread to more people. Because of this, many students have problems in the learning session because they cannot feel the same learning session as before. Therefore, we agreed to produce this application to help students and instructors in understanding and mastering learning especially Shear Force Diagram (SFD) and Bending Moment Diagram (BMD). STRUCDEE MOBILE APPS is an application that can solve questions related to SFD and BMD by simply entering important data such as beam length, force and others. In addition, this application is also able to analyze questions by simply using the camera to analyze questions using a computer vision system. The application is able to solve questions from the categories of continuous beam and simply supported beam. In collecting data to produce this application, we use quantitative methods (through boring questionnaires), qualitative (through interviews and observations) and literature review which are previous studies that have inspired us to produce this application. To produce this application, we use ANDROID STUDIO software and MIT APP INVENTOR which is software specially designed for programing and producing applications.
