Students were found to have trouble differentiating the purpose of and how to draw the diagrams. This paper proposed a learning application for self-regulated learning of the topic. The application designed using the ADDIE model, developed using Adobe Flash and tested by 10 Diploma in Information Technology students in Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia. Results of usability survey are generally positive, with rooms for improvement in terms of design and navigation.
