 ABSTRACT

BAGUNU, JASMINE S., LAGGUI, MARIVIC T., NATIVIDAD, GERALDINE A.,

DECEMBER 2018, “STROKES: NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION BIBLE
APPLICATION”, Undergraduate Thesis, Bachelor of Science in Information
Technology, Isabela State University, Cabagan, Isabela.
Thesis Adviser: Dr. Rosemary L. Buraga
This study was conducted to develop a digital Bible application called Strokes: The
New International Version Bible Application. This application is deemed necessary as it
will give convenience and efficient way of reading and learning the Bible. Primarily, it
sought to: (1) develop a New International Version Bible Application which is capable of
displaying all the contents of the Bible, progress bar to keep track the progress of the user
in reading the Bible, note takings on the application while reading, a classification
through color coding for the readers to know where the books belong to; (2) test
application in different android phones with different versions and (3) determine the
perception of the respondents on the usability, portability, functionality, visual design and
interaction and compatibility, performance and stability of the application.

The study utilized Agile Process Model, Use Case Diagram, Input Process Output and
Hierarchical Input Process Output. Interview, questionnaire, internet and library research
were used in gathering the needed data. A total of 40 respondents evaluated the
application relevant to the functionality, usability, portability, visual design and
interaction and compatibility performance and stability. Likert Scale, frequency count
and weighted mean were used in analyzing the data gathered from the evaluation.

The mobile application was shared through Share-It application enabling the users to
install and use the application. Result of the study showed that the respondents gave a
positive perception towards the functionality, usability, portability, visual design and
interaction and compatibility performance and stability of the application.

It is noteworthy that the developed mobile application be implemented for the students,
teachers enabling them to have an interest in Strokes: New International Version Bible in
a more convenient and handy way.
