In this study, we developed a system aimed at supporting the design of classes using information terminals and verified its operability and usefulness. In designing the system, current challenges were identified from previously conducted studies, with five functional requirements determined by an investigation of user needs. Subsequently, a system was developed that satisfies the functional requirements of an application that operates on smartphones. When 16 teachers evaluated the developed system, there were no problems regarding operability. As for its usefulness, the application was favorably evaluated on the specified criteria for functional requirements. This included presenting examples of lessons in a step-by-step manner based on the Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition (SAMR) model, which is a unique functionality of the application. On the contrary, it was shown that a certain number of teachers showed resistance to functions involving user participation such as the writing function and the practical upload function.
