Abstract
Indonesia is a country with high biodiversity and social community. Differences in learning and student competencies in villages and cities also become a separate problem. With the natural and social conditions of each, students in rural and urban areas have different abilities, hence the need for peer learning to share knowledge. One of the solution to bridge this problem is by developing information systems that can be used by students in villages and cities. Through peer learning, it is expected to improve students knowledge and skills because the learning design is more natural. In this paper, my buddy school system is designed and developed to support self-regulated learning and peer learning course. We applied explicit evaluation using some questionnaires and interview of 20 students that have already used the developed system. Result shows that user experience score and student-s respond from interview session indicate that the system is good; therefore, an improvement is needed. For the future works, we proposed user-centered design method to gain greater score of user experience.
