People can search any information in internet through platform such as Google search, Bing and many more. The health information technology made patient become the producer of their own health because it enables them to access their health information anywhere. Furthermore, there are many people search their medical information on the internet not only for themselves but sometimes also for their family members or friends. There are thousands of medical websites and some provide health information which are may or may not up to date and reliable. Therefore, this study attempts to explore on how to choose the reliable website especially those who interested on looking their health information. People including patients and consumers need to be noted where there are pros and cons of the health information that available on web. Choosing the reliable websites is the first step in gathering online health information. Next, people must get to know the person who wrote the information and the reviews. Besides, the health information must be written or reviewed by healthcare professionals. Many sources can be used by internet’s user to seek on health information which not only come from the internet but also on printed sources such as magazine and newspapers. Electronic health record (EHR) is now been used widely in order to record patient information in online basis as well as one of tools whereby it is deliberately used by users on looking into their health condition

OBE course analysis and learning reflections / Arnida Jahya...[et al.]

This paper aims to share the findings of outcome-based education (OBE) analysis done on Human Resource Development (HRM549) course from the Faculty of Business Management that was conducted in one of the public universities. Generally, the curriculum documentation of an academic program includes written program educational objectives (PEOs) at the program level together with the course information for all courses in the program. Course information is a document that provides the details of the course outcomes, teaching methodology, assessment, details of students learning time (SLT), program outcomes-course outcomes (POs-COs) matrix, taxonomy and soft skills matrix that serve as an official guideline to a lecturer to conduct the course, deliver the learning activities and assessment of the students. This OBE course analysis was done as a part of an assignment for the Certificate of Education program conducted by Institute of Leadership and Quality Management (ILQAM) in 2014. Findings of the analysis on this HRM549 course showed that there were several items were not mapped to the course learning outcomes. Henceforth, it was recommended that the lecturer should identify the key important elements in the course analysis that will guide them to map the course learning outcomes with program educational objectives. In conclusion, doing OBE course analysis provides an insight of how the curriculum of a course is being designed (or formulated) using OBE approach

An inside view on Blended Learning: The relationship between blended learning and service quality / Norida Abu Bakar...[et al.]

The purpose of this paper is to review the application and the development of blended learning from the student perspective. Blended learning combines both the classroom and technology to engage learners in meaningful learning experiences, has led to new teaching models and learning styles that embraces the latest technology.As the number of the student intake are growing, it is important to the university to identify the level of saticfaction on Blended learning. The paper use quantitative research methodology to answer the three research questions of this study. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used. Data collected was sorted, classified, coded and tabulated for an ease of analysis by using student statistical package SPSS 20.The result shows only two variable are significant to the blended learning. The conclusion shows the topic on blended learning was good because in the developmental stage and it needs effective improvement from the organization in terms of infrastructure and training of instructors and learners with efficient skills in teaching and learning online

A comparative analysis on multiple intelligences between science technology and social sciences students at Universiti Teknologi MARA / Nor Fuzaina Ismail...[et al.]

This paper describes the comparison of multiple intelligence indexes between science technology students and social science students at Universiti Teknologi MARA. The multiple intelligence indexes were based on Howard Gardner's MI Model and Walter Mackenzie's Questionnaires. It was found that science social students attained higher MI index as compared to science technology students. The multiple intelligence profiling represents a significant departure from the traditional view of intelligence between these two groups. It is hoped that the indexes could offer a key consideration to match the learning strategies approaches by giving some insights about students' strength and weakness

The effectiveness of pro-math challenge module to improve knowledge, perception, attitude and inclination of students in mathematics subject / Anis Zafirah Azmi ... [et al.]

This paper presents an empirical finding from a research that implementing a Pro-Math Challenge module for form three students in Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Gunung Rapat Setia, Ipoh, Perak Malaysia. The objective of this study is to identify the effectiveness of the module in improving students’ mathematical knowledge, which categorized as the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) proficiencies. Implemented in a STEM program, the students’ responses on the module were analyzed with a questionnaire survey to measure four criteria namely knowledge, perception, attitude and inclination. The results from a Wilcoxon Signed-rankas test have revealed that each of the criteria has a statistically significant difference on the increment of students’ understanding after the Pro Math Challenge module was implemented. Overall, half of the students strongly agree that the Pro-Math Challenge module implemented in the STEM program was beneficial to them and has given a good impact to them
