Steps being taken in the study are: (1) requirements analysis, (2) interface design, (3) construction performance, and (4) testing and implementation. The subjects of this study were students of class 2014 and course lecturers for the student of class 2014. After the system testing that was conducted in the second semester of 2014, the collected data suggest that out of 1153 students who used this application, 79% of them were comfortable in using it. As for the lecturers, the data was obtained from 70 lecturers, 82% of them stated that this application helped their teaching process.
