What’s Wrong with SISDALSKRIPSI? An Evaluation of the Thesis Control System at UNNES

This study aims to examine the implementation of thesis control system (SISDALSKRIPSI) at the Faculty of Economics, Universitas Negeri Semarang (FE UNNES). The concept of Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) is used to understand the factors that influence the students want to use SISDALSKRIPSI in FE UNNES. The research design is evaluative research. The population of the research is the students of the Department of Economic Education, FE UNNES who are preparing the thesis. Respondents in this study are also lecturers and supervisors at FE UNNES. The questionnaires and interviews were used to collect the data. Data analysis techniques used are multiple regression analysis and focus group discussion. The results showed that effort expectancy, performance expectancy, and social influence have positive and significant impact on intention to use SISDALSKRIPSI. Intension and facilitating condition also proved to have positive and significant effect on the actual use of SISDALSKRIPSI. Other results indicate that SISDALSKRIPSI still have to be improved. So it will be easier to use by lecturers and students.     Keywords: on time graduation; SISDALSKRIPSI; thesis control system; UTAU

Effect of mobile computing enabled halal auditing on usability of halal auditors

Malaysia has been widely acknowledged as the world reference center for halal certification as well as halal standard development, training and labeling. With halal global trade industry booming, large and small-scale companies are trying to enter the market, but they are finding it difficult to get halal certification because the current halal certification process is slow, complex and expensive. The halal audit app is the first mobile auditing app that helps in reducing the complexity, time and cost of halal audit process. This research refers to the design science research (DSR) as the guidelines in conducting this research. The designed questionnaire is based on TAM and TTF models in deriving the elements that suits for the evaluation of the halal audit apps usability for halal auditors. The target respondents are the person who have experienced in performing the audit. The questionnaire is disseminated to 30 respondents to evaluate the user friendliness of the apps towards halal auditing process and to identify user intention in utilizing the apps to conduct halal audit. Correlation analysis were used to analyze the data. This research hopes to contribute to the halal industry mainly to help ease the process of halal auditing for companies applying for halal certification. So, that auditing apps can be widely used and accepted as an alternative way in halal auditing process

Factors Affecting the Adoption of Mobile Commerce (A Study on SMEs in Malang)

The inferential analysis technique used in this study is Generalized Structured Component Analysis (GSCA). The results of the study show that out of 8 hypotheses, 5 of which are significant and 3 of which are non-significant. The hypotheses resulting in significant effect are performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and fit toward behavioral intention, as well astask characteristic toward fit and behavioral intention toward adoption. The hypotheses with non-significant effect are social influence and facilitating condition toward behavioral intention as well as technology characteristic toward fit.

Awareness and access to mobile applications in an Academic Library

Smartphones and Mobile applications are considered as one of the dominant communication tools in every walk of life whether it is for general or professional communication in education domain. The smartphone of different kinds with powerful features through applications is available in the market; which can also be used in an academic library to promote library activities and services for the benefit of fraternity and research output. To enable such services, mobile applications related to library play a vital role in disseminating information to the users over smartphones. The purpose of this study is to find out the awareness, access, and usage of mobile application among the users of technical institute library using the survey method in National Institute of Technology, Rourkela. From this study, it enumerates that mobile application and its functionality significantly enhance the use of library resources and services more effectively and efficiently

Perspectives of Students’ Behavior Towards Mobile Learning (M-learning) in Egypt: an Extension of the UTAUT Model

The rapid development of third-generation (3G) mobile technologies has led to the emergence of a new kind of learning called mobile learning (m-learning). M-learning means the use of mobile devices to access learning materials at anytime and anywhere with the aid of mobile terminals and networks. This paper explores the possibility of applying m-learning for schools in Egypt through a proposed model of acceptance factors that may affect the students’ intentions to adopt m-learning. We use the original model of Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) and extended it with three new factors mobility, interactivity, and enjoyment

The Effect of UTAUT and IRT Factors on the Digital Fishery Platforms Acceptanc

The background of this research is the weakness of the marine product supply chain which reduces the interest of the Indonesian people to consume abundant fish. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of UTAUT and IRT factors on digital fishery platform acceptance. The study was conducted in the provinces of Banten and West Java using a convenience sampling technique. The data collected were 240 samples, consists of 151 samples from Banten province, and 89 samples from West Java province. The results of the study prove that three UTAUT factors, namely performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and social influence significantly affect the intention to use digital platforms. Three IRT factors have a significant effect on resistance to using digital platforms. However, this study also shows low resistance and high acceptance on the digital fishery platform, so that the effect of resistance on the intention to use digital fishery platforms is proven to be negative and significant. The novelty of this research is the combination of UTAUT and IRT theory on digital platform acceptance. The practical benefits of this research can be used as a basis for decision-making to build a digital fishery platform that will benefit marine fish consumers and fishermen.

Towards a better understanding of the Organizational Characteristics that affect Acceptance of Big Data Platforms for Academic Teaching

In today's era of information, data has been growing at an exponential rate to become big data, and it needs platforms to allow users to govern, access, deliver, analyze, and use these huge databases. Academics in higher education need to utilize these platforms in teaching to enrich and empower the educational experience of their students of these institutions. The purpose of the current study is to investigate the impact of organizational characteristics on the acceptance of big data platforms for academic teaching among higher education institutes in Malaysia. 143 respondents participated to examine the effect of organizational characteristics (Management Drive, Bandwagon Pressure, and Training) on the acceptance of big data platforms for academic teaching. Besides, examining the moderating role of task technology fit. The results illustrate that management drive, bandwagon pressure has a significant impact on the acceptance, with an insignificant impact of training on the acceptance. However, task technology fit has not moderated any of the proposed relationships. This study would give insight for the higher education institutes managements to improve their academics acceptance of the big data platforms in teaching and therefore drive them to use the aforementioned platforms
