Abstract. With the proliferation of wireless and mobile technologies, this paper presents a framework for learning Malay language as a second language for vernacular primary school students through a mobile application. One of the problems faced by this group of students is when they have to further their studies to national secondary school where the medium of communication is no longer in their native language, but Malay.. This application encourages the learners to improve their Malay language skills at their own pace anytime anywhere. It is designed in such a way that the learners can use and explore the modules in the application by themselves. The concept of play and learn is integrated in this application that gives excitement in learning the language.
In this paper, Mashup for Internship Placement (MIP) system for undergraduate students is presented. One of the problems in Student Industrial Internship Unit is the lack of proper channel for information sharing among the internship students during or after the training. Thus, it is a challenge for students to decide which internship offer to accept due to lack of knowledge about the potential company and the unavailability of information about the job offered. The MIP system for undergraduate students is proposed to integrate disparate data from multiple sources using Yahoo Pipes. The objectives of this research are twofold: (1) To investigate mashup as a new paradigm for information visualization and (2) To develop a prototype system that incorporates features for user to view the location and information about the company that offers internship placement in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Rapid Prototyping methodology and Yahoo Pipes were used in the design of the MIP system. Data from Google Maps and host company's details were extracted using Fetch Feed widget in Yahoo Pipes and integrated with the RSS feed to display search results on interactive map. Preliminary results show that the MIP prototype system is a useful Web 2.0 application for assisting users in making just-in-time decision.
