“…The emergence of e-learning has led to a proliferation of platforms whose purpose is to group a set of features to support the needs of the training (Belkasmi et al, 2010). The courseware product, if employed as the lecture source, can make the classroom lectures more informative and, at the same time, more exciting by enhancing student participation in classroom discussions.…”

Abstract:A computer assisted learning approach was developed to enhance course material for students to learn about computer components, through the use of multimedia courseware. Recent advances in software authoring packages have made the production of CD-ROMs an efficient and effective educational strategy. Problem statement: This study reports on the development an evaluation of this courseware related to the learning basic computer system components through the use of courseware (iC-COM). The purpose of the study was to evaluate a courseware for learning basic computer system components. The basic components of iC-COM included an interface, graphics, sound effects, narration and video. Approach: The iC-COM was developed based on the ADDIE instructional system design model. The research instrument was the courseware evaluation in the form of questionnaire that consisted of various attributes included content, interactivity, navigation and screen design which distributed to 50 computer system and support programme students of Kolej Komuniti Jasin. Results: Based on the results, it was shown that the analysis results of each questionnaire item mean ranged from 3.5 to 3.8. Conclusion/Recommendations: For future enhancement, it is recommended that iC-COM will be integrated into web-based platform so it can be accessed easily anywhere.

“…The maintaining of dozens of computers in the computer classroom becomes a burden for the manager. The literature had discussed the way of improving management of computer classroom, for example: computer lab management using free software (Belkasmi et al, 2010). Implementation of a diskless cluster computing environment in a computer classroom (Hsieh, 2008) and the development of teaching network management system in computer classroom.…”

Abstract:The education of Information Technology (IT) in Taiwan has been promoted since 1997. However, there were still problems with the current environment of IT education. Problem statement: The major problem was that students were unable to practice after school with the same environment and there was no appropriate space to save their files for students, so it was not convenient for students' achievement of learning. Approach: The service of private cloud computing was adopted in this study to establish the education environment of information technology for resolving these problems. The browser was used to link the cloud computing service that provided web operating system, application program and file manager and the purpose was to increase the learning efficiency and convenience. Results: The quasi-experimental method was applied to the study of 110 fifth grade students who were selected from Tunglo Elementary School in Miaoli County, Taiwan. Conclusion:The experiment results showed that students' learning achievement with the environment of IT educational of cloud computing was better than the ones with traditional IT educational environment. Therefore, the cloud computing infrastructure was recommended to construct the environment of IT education in real world.

“…This definition is also agreed by (Druin, 2009;Elmetwaly, 2010;Judge et al, 2011) who defines AT as technological devices or software that are designed to assist people with disabilities. In addition, Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 stated that employers, professional educators and industries are responsible to provide reasonable accommodations to assist the disabled (Belkasmi et al, 2010). Wheelchairs, hearing aids, screen readers and special educational software are some examples of AT that have been developed (Jabr and Omari, 2010;Druin, 2009).…”

Problem statement:The government of Malaysia is considering serious efforts in promoting the usage of computers among disabled people. Currently, the availability of computer applications especially related to creative contents for disabled people in Malaysia is infancy and very expensive. Research and expertise in the area of Assistive Technology (AT) in Malaysia is still uncommon and not extensively utilized. Therefore research involving special communities such as disabled people on the usage of electronic applications should be focused because records show that their population populations are increasing. Hence, this research will be tailored for Visually-Impaired (VI) learners. In Malaysia, visual impairment is one of the highest registered disabilities. Approach: This study presents an ongoing project that determines whether the VI children can accept the Assistive Courseware (AC) as one of the effective tools in their learning process. Specification identification, AC development and testing and evaluation are three activities involved in this study. In addition, data have been collected through qualitative approaches. Results: The results highlight four important elements for incorporated in an AC for VI children. Through the testing and evaluation, it was found that the VI children accept the AC due to interesting usage of audio, graphic, text and easy navigation method. Conclusion: In a nutshell, the positive responses prove that the AC not only exposes the VI children to the world of technology but also educates them in terms of interpersonal skills, intrapersonal skills and motivation. The recommended future work is to produce a much comprehensive AC which focuses on interactivity, various multimedia elements, multiple intelligence elements and multiple stages of exercise in granting value-added AC not only for VI children in Malaysia but also to other world VI communities in the world.
