Email: septhy.mangiwa@yahoo.com Abstract-The on-going teaching-learning process at junior high school in Papua-Indonesia is still traditional that is teachers deliver course materials, assignments, quizzes, and exams in the classroom. The delivery of information and academic administration services is still done manually so it is slow and ineffective. The purpose of this research is to make smart school application design with online learning system to overcome various problems faced by junior high school in Papua. Smart school will be a blended learning that combines traditional face-to-face methods with online learning systems. The target of this research is the creation of online learning model and management of academic administration to improve education quality in Papua-Indonesia. It can support learning in schools and create learning environment which effective, efficient, and paperless. The design of smart school application software using waterfall method which includes five stages, namely the identification of user needs, analysis, design, implementation, and testing. Smart school application design using object-oriented modeling (Unified Modeling Language). Keywords: Smart school applications, application design, online learning, junior high school in Papua, UML I. INTRODUCTION The on-going learning process at junior high school in Papua-Indonesia is still traditional face-to-face, where teachers deliver lesson material, exams, assignments, quizzes, tasks and discussions within a particular classroom. If there are teachers who are unable to teach in the classroom, then the process of teaching and learning does not happen. Often students are required to be independent in finding the lesson materials and tasks needed to support the learning activities. The traditional learning model is teacher-centered so that students tend to be passive in learning activities. This causes a lack of mutual relationships between teachers and students. Teachers as planners as well as implementers in teaching and learning activities need to know the difficulties experienced by students about the subject matter that has been taught. The problems in traditional learning systems require solutions to improve the quality of education in junior high schools in Papua. It is necessary to transform the traditional learning method into information and communication technology which student centered learning to improve students' competitiveness and independence in learning. Changing the habit of the traditional face-to-face learning process into a virtual class is not easy, because it requires International Journal of Computer Science and Information Security (IJCSIS), Vol. 15, No. 10, October 2017 154 https://sites.google.com/site/ijcsis/ ISSN 1947-5500
