Reading skill is the most crucial ability as it is required in the upper level of discovery of knowledge. In this research, Phonic Reading Technique and Multisensory Approach are blended with interactive multimedia, which incorporates multimedia elements such as text, graphics, video, and animation. The manner of applying those techniques in “Bijak Membaca” is discussed. The contents of this application are specifically designed to visualize letters, words, sentences, and pronunciations in the Malay language for dyslexics, aged 7-8 years, with awareness of their characteristics. In order to evaluate the design of its content, heuristic testing is conducted among multimedia lecturers and IT undergraduates. The result reveals that the contents are well designed with the inclusion of Phonic Reading Technique, Multisensory Approach, and suitable multimedia elements. It is also concluded as interesting, user-friendly, attractive, valuable, and supportive.

All names in asmaul husna must be translated with the word "Maha", which shows the perfection in divine attribute. Unfortunately, in this modern age, the lack of knowledge about asmaul husna especially its meaning is the most common problem among muslim society. By learning asmaul husna via traditional methods such as text books and white board, muslims are getting less motivated and have no desire to learn more about asmaul husna. Due to the emerging of gamification, the traditional methods are less effective, and it has several limitations in terms of equipment for the learning process. Learning asmaul husna through gamification could increase motivation, offers challenges and trigger excitement to play, while applying multimedia principles could ease in the learning process by reducing the cognitive load and excess memory. The aim of this project is to learn on asmaul husna attributes and meanings, identify suitable gamification elements and multimedia principles to be adapted into the design and development of Asmaul husna Learning Game for students. This game consists of gamification elements in learning such as points, rewards, countdown timer, and discovery and multimedia learning principles which is the signalling principle. Heuristic evaluation has been initiated and from the test results, this game is highly recommended for students.

The module also focuses on the quality of worship to Allah by adapting integrated techniques in religion and science to improve the level of humility in prayer. The methodology of this module is based on library research.

The use of mobile phones is causing growing concern among the general public. Improving online education, primarily via this device, is also one of the government’s most pressing needs. Most current research on mobile learning applications pays little attention to multimedia principles, especially the Signalling principle, to improve user interaction. As a result, this project is undertaken to suggest better and more efficient mobile learning applications. The model is developed in collaboration with various stakeholders, including content experts, HCI experts, actual users, and a thorough literature review. Creating these mobile learning design guidelines is anticipated to lead to a more efficient and successful mobile learning style. According to the results of the experiments, implementing the hybridised guidelines resulted in a significant increase in Asmaul Husna Islamic knowledge among...

This app was created and designed to increase students’ knowledge, perceived awareness, and perceived motivation for the learning material. When learners are assisted with signalling or cueing to focus their attention on the most appropriate resources, they demonstrate improved learning performance and significantly reduced cognitive load. The signalling principle’s effectiveness in enhancing learning outcomes by emphasising correspondences between text and images has been increasingly confirmed by empirical research. AHMA’s heutagogic design encourages students to explore, connect, and reflect through their self-learning process. By promoting aspects of the learning experience that are conducive to lecture or self-paced learning.

Through PP, students are able to share knowledge and expertise that will contribute to better programming solutions. Nevertheless, how PP can help to improve students’ cognitive abilities has yet to be explored. Therefore, this study’s aim was to investigate the impacts of implementing Pair Programming (PP) on students’ logical thinking. Logical thinking is part of the cognitive ability claimed to be one of the crucial factors that determine the success or failure of novice programmers. To achieve this, 60 students who enrolled in Diploma in Computer Science programme in Universiti Teknologi MARA Perlis Branch, Malaysia, were asked to take the pre-test and post-test of Group Assessment Logical Thinking (GALT) Test in the beginning and at the end of the semester. These students were divided into two main groups; Control and Test in the Test Group, studen...

Once our kidneys are damaged, excretion process in the body cannot be carried out effectively. Important information is needed for CKD patients such as food nutrition, consequences and also daily healthcare management. Thus, the focus of this project is to develop a multimedia application for CKD patients that can provide self-care guidelines for their daily life. This project is developed using Adobe Flash CS5.5 that provides the outcome which is CKD patient self-care guidelines flash tool. Subsequently, a simple website of CKD patient self-care guidelines has been developed using Adobe Dreamweaver that acts as a tool to disseminate this multimedia application. From this project, a new interactive design of CKD self-care management has been created and more effective information channel is developed for them. Heuristic evaluation and usability test have been conducted on the experts and real users to ensure that the project delivered meet the users' expectations.

This technique is crucial to avoid them from bacterial contamination which leads to peritonitis while performing CAPD procedures. Therefore, this study was conducted to assist CAPD users in learning and practicing Aseptic Techniques. A multimedia application has been developed with the integration of multimedia elements such as text, image, and video in order to help renal patients in learning the Aseptic Techniques. A usability test and an interview were conducted to evaluate the usefulness of the multimedia application. The result indicates that the application is successful in increasing knowledge, understanding and guidance for CAPD users in aseptic activities. This application provides users with a different experience in learning aseptic activities as they are able to learn at their own pace. It is discovered that the multimedia application has successfully met the objective and it is beneficial for renal patients as one of the means to avoid Peritonitis.
