Design of a Web-Based Tutoring Information System for Dinasbel

Abstract

This study presents the design and development of a web-based tutoring information system for Dinasbel Education Service Office in Medan, Indonesia. The existing manual registration and data management processes at the tutoring center have resulted in operational inefficiencies, including data redundancy, recording errors, and limited accessibility for stakeholders. To address these challenges, this research employs the Waterfall Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) methodology, encompassing requirements analysis, system design, implementation, and testing phases. The system architecture incorporates Data Flow Diagrams (DFD) for process modeling and Entity-Relationship Diagrams (ERD) for database design. The proposed system facilitates online student registration, automated attendance tracking, digital payment processing, schedule management, and comprehensive reporting functionalities. System validation through Black Box testing demonstrates successful implementation across all functional modules, including user authentication, data management for registrants, students, subjects, and programs, as well as report generation. The findings indicate that the web-based information system significantly enhances operational efficiency, reduces human error, and improves data accessibility for students, teachers, administrators, and institutional owners. This research contributes to the growing body of knowledge on educational technology implementation in developing countries and provides a practical framework for digitizing tutoring center operations.
