Leveraging the power of knowledge occurs when individuals intended to share their knowledge. When there is a trust and secure feeling of ownership, the knowledge will spread without any constraints. With an adequate infrastructure in organizations, it can ease the communication and employees interaction for knowledge sharing. The purpose of this research is to investigate the impact of infrastructure, organizational culture, organizational structure and technology towards knowledge sharing in banking industries.

The current generation as referred to by Prensky (2001), “digital native”, has been fully influenced by the technology. This challenge created a pedagogic imbalance as the current learners becomes uncomfortable with the old traditional methods of teaching. As a result digital games were advocated. This research investigates the acceptance of DGBL among undergraduate students of Multimedia University of Malaysia. 171 questionnaires were collected and analyzed using descriptive statistics which covered perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and attitudes towards use. The result indicated that, students with agreed and strongly agreed responses have higher mean and standard deviation. The research also verifies whether there exist any significant differences of the user demography (gender and age-group) and their attitude towards use. Mann W...

Unlike other subjects, implementation of engineering subject is a challenge. One of the problems is the need to provide learners with lab practice and hands-on work. Lab practice and hands-on work are essential in engineering learning as it enables students to look and hold engine parts and to feel its weight and texture and how it's been assembled with smaller parts. It is believed the usage of 3D animation would be one of a solution to solve the problem. This preliminary study investigates the usefulness of instructional 3D animation as a learning aid in an electrical engineering course. A cross-sectional survey method has been used as a research design for this pilot study. The study involves 34 students from an engineering course. It has been discovered that majority of the students strongly agree and agree the usage of 3d animation should be included as a learning component in engineering subjects.

Concern was raised that Islamic Studies faced the risk of being misunderstood if the lessons were taught through self-accessing method with minimal intervention from teachers. Using the Dick and Carey instructional model as a framework, an e-learning version was devised for the national Form 4 Islamic Studies syllabus, "The steps and procedures of Hajj and Umrah". The Islamic Studies textbook for national secondary schools in Malaysia was reviewed using a systematic approach, from identifying the instructional goal through to formative and summative evaluation processes. Interview sessions with students were conducted to assess the developed e-learning Islamic Studies content. A subsequent survey with students was conducted. Results from the study indicated the e-learning Islamic Studies content had the potential to help students, being easy to use, and attracting and retaining students' attention.

Hasta el momento se han dedicado trabajos fundamentalmente a colonias, aunque algunos municipios han recibido ya atención por parte de los estudiosos. Y es en esta última dirección donde ha de enmarcarse el breve estudio que ahora presentamos, si bien nuestro propósito no es cubrir exhaustivamente todos los aspectos concernientes a esta interesante ciudad, sino el planteamiento de algunos de los problemas que presenta la rica epigrafía singilense así como, en la medida que lo permitan las fuentes, la caracterización y tipificación de la sociología • de este municipio.

Many lecturers have recognized the advantages of emerging technologies implementation in education. It is believed that these emerging technologies promotes learner-centeredness and at the same time are useful for learning and teaching purposes. However, technology alone cannot guarantee positive learning outcomes. Thus, the descriptive study had been conducted to identify type of web technologies used by lecturers to enhance courses and to identify the lecturers' teaching practices when using the selected web technologies. This would help new lecturers or those who unfamiliar with the web 2.0 to choose which tools are suitable for which teaching practice. Respondents of the survey consisted of 113 lecturers from HEIs. The study was conducted in selected HEIs in Malaysia specifically in the state of Selangor and Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur. It is identified that Blogs, Social Network sites and Video Sharing sites as the most popular web 2.0 applications used by these lecturers. The paper further explains teaching practices used by these lecturers when using the web technologies in the classes.

There are numerous studies on digital games based learning (DGBL) which demonstrate the increased interest in digital games among students. Conversely, there has been a significant decline of interest in learning science. DGBL merges principles and strategies from the game and education fields. It is believed the combination of these two fields would enhance interest in learning science as well as assist students to understand highly conceptual subjects such as Chemistry. However, researchers face challenges to integrate principles of games into educational theories which are often too broad to be implemented in DGBL development. As such, this conceptual paper tries to discuss the potential of merging game principles and learning strategies in DGBL for teaching science concepts.

A part of that change involved lecturers having to make a shift from being mainly concerned with teaching, to doing research as well. The case study looked into the perceptions and attitudes of the lecturers in making the behavioural and cultural change, from the perspective of knowledge worker motivation. In particular, it inquired into the nature of knowledge worker motivation as being intrinsically or extrinsically governed. A survey of all the lecturers was made through questionnaires and in depth interviews were conducted in a specific department. An 'intervention' in the form of a series of seminars to assess lecturers' perceptions of their research capabilities, was also implemented. A comparison of the empirical evidence and theoretical frameworks on knowledge worker motivation, led to findings that suggest that the three main factors of culture, career and commitment, underlie that motivation. Further, that the nature of knowledge worker motivation may need to be extrinsically derived. This in turn, would hold implications for future research into the intrinsically driven nature of knowledge worker motivation, as being the general case.

Digital game play is like a culture among majority of students in high schools, especially males who play games every day. This phenomenon has stimulated researchers and academics to further study the various contexts of gaming. This preliminary study has identified the motivating factors of certain games that were able to sustain the interest of five male students in playing those digital games. A basic qualitative research design is adopted as the research method. The findings has reported – five motivating factors which are type of game,content, challenge , control, update and fun that incite students to consistently play the digital games.

Merging of Game Principles and Learning Strategy using Apps for Science Subjects to enhance student interest and understanding. Paper presented at the International Seminar in Science and Mathematics Education 2012, 5 - 8 September, Johore, Malaysia.

The popularity of digital games is undeniable. There are numerous studies on digital games based learning (DGBL) which demonstrate the increased interest in digital games among students. Conversely, there has been a significant decline of interest in learning science. DGBL merges principles and strategies from the game and education fields. It is believed the combination of these two fields would enhance interest in learning science as well as assist students to understand highly conceptual subjects such as Chemistry. However, researchers face challenges to integrate principles of games into educational theories which are often too broad to be implemented in DGBL development. As such, this conceptual paper tries to discuss the potential of merging game principles and learning strategies in DGBL for teaching science concepts.

"The Document Map is a separate display (in the form of a left-sided pane) that helps you navigate through a long Word document and access different parts of it. Think of it as a jumping off point for reaching different sections in your document."

Students are taught how to optimize the tool in order to help them organize thesis writing in more structured manner.
