dc.description.abstractThis project was the exploration of researching successful app design and the development of an app prototype for middle school science students. This app prototype is intended to serve needs of middle school science covering the content area of botany, while taking into consideration the affordances of mobile technology to further encourage learning and meaning. The development of the app prototype I am calling “PinBot” was executed in a webbased wireframe tool titled AppShed. The app design, structure and development is based upon the standards set forth by Apple computer inc., app developers and information design theories. This paper chronicles my efforts from concept to final version of app design, with the insight of participant input and scholarly guidance. The application development process enabled me to refine my information in visual, textual and functional forms. The clarity of meaning within the app icons is essential to the user, and the success of the app. Developing and employing the use of video is valued for users with multiple learning styles. The use of video also serves as a means of reinforcing what each tool does and how one can use the app overall. In conclusion, the app development process taught me the balance between communication styles in varied formats and relevance to the individual.
