A Systematic Review of Mobile-Based Assessment Acceptance Studies from 2009 To 2019

Despite many studies being conducted on mobile learning acceptance, few investigate mobile-based assessment acceptance. The objectives of this research are to provide valuable insights into current research on mobile-based assessment literature, and to identify the main gaps in the mobile-based assessment acceptance literature. Therefore, the present study systematically reviews 48 previous studies and eight articles related to mobile-based assessment acceptance to provide a comprehensive analysis of the articles published from 2009 to 2019. Findings indicate that majority of mobile-based assessment studies focused on evaluating the effectiveness and performance of mobile-based assessment system and conducted at the secondary school level. In addition, this study identified several gaps. Further research is needed to study the acceptance problem of a mobile-based assessment system. More investigation is required to predict which external factors that can enhance the acceptance and use of mobile-based assessment among students. The findings of this review study provide a valuable reference for researchers about the current trend of mobile-based assessment research as well as the research gaps that should be covered in future studies

Review the Success of the Mobile Government from the Government Perspective

The researchers agreed on the potential of the mobile government as a new channel of communication between the government and citizens if the mobile government eliminates the traditional organizational structure of government, thus changing the way information is exchanged between them, and provide government services in a transparent manner at anytime and anywhere. For the education sector, mobile education initiatives must be successful in educational institutions must choose the appropriate technology in proportion to its infrastructure to conserve resources and reduce the stress of change. Therefore, this research seeks to present the most important factors of success explored by researchers in their studies, using different research methods in different countries, and trying to classify these factors from the perspective of the government and citizens. The methodology used in this research is to review the literature on the success of mobile government from a government perspective, in order to determine the success factors adopted by each study, and then categorize the success factors according to the degree of their impact on the successful implementation of the mobile government. The final stage is a model proposal for mobile government success

Optimizing K-Means Initial Number of Cluster Based Heuristic Approach: Literature Review Analysis Perspective

One popular clustering technique - the K-means widely use in educational scope to clustering and mapping document, data, and user performance in skill. K-means clustering is one of the classical and most widely used clustering algorithms shows its efficiency in many traditional applications its defect appears obviously when the data set to become much more complicated. Based on some research on K-means algorithm shows that Number of a cluster of K-means cannot easily be specified in much real-world application, several algorithms requiring the number of cluster as a parameter cannot be effectively employed. The aim of this paper describes the perspective K-means problems underlying research. Literature analysis of previous studies suggesting that selection of the number of clusters randomly cause problems such as suitable producing globular cluster, less efficient if as the number of cluster grow K-means clustering becomes untenable. From those literature reviews, the heuristic optimization will be approached to solve an initial number of cluster randomly

UTAUT is among the foremost fashionable and up to date model in information technology acceptance. This is review paper aiming to review UTAUT’s previous studies of intention to use mobile learning. In conclusion, this research provides insight regarding the necessary factors for planning and designing an intention to use mobile learning model in higher education institutions

A framework of collaborative knowledge management system in open source software development environment.

The global economy crisis reveals the advantages of Open Source Software (OSS). Software developers benefit not only from reduced cost of acquisition, but also access to source code and components. In this aspect, knowledge sharing among developers are immensely important in all facets of System Development Life Cycle (SDLC). Feller and Fitzgerald (2000) raised the critical questions on what life-cycle underpins the OSS model and what is the best methodology to support the OSS as well as what toolkit support OSS methodology. This paper shall discuss the formulation of Knowledge Management System (KMS) framework for sharing knowledge in OSS using SDLC from the planning phase until the maintenance phase. An initial fact finding survey was conducted on selected OSS developers in Malaysia to analyze the current usage and acceptance of OSS. The results are quite unexpected, with many OSS developers are still not fully using OSS tools in SDLC stages. The proposed KMS model is envisaged to allow OSS Community-of-Practice to share the OSS knowledge for the whole SDLC

PSAP: Improving Accuracy of Students' Final Grade Prediction using ID3 and C4.5

This study was aimed to increase the performance of the Predicting Student Academic Performance (PSAP) system, and the outcome is to develop a web application that can be used to analyze student performance during present semester. Development of the web-based application was based on the evolutionary prototyping model. The study also analyses the accuracy of the classifier that is constructed for the prediction features in the web application. Qualitative approaches by user evaluation questionnaire were used for this study. A number of few personnel expert users which are lecturers from Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris were chosen as respondents. Each respondent is instructed to answer a total of 27 questions regarding respondent’s background and web application design. The accuracy of the classifier for the prediction features is tested by using the confusion matrix by using the test set of 24 rows. The findings showed the views of respondents on the aspects of interface design, functionality, navigation, and reliability of the web-based application that is developed. The result also showed that accuracy for the classifier constructed by using ID3 classification model (C4.5) is 79.18% and the highest compared to Naïve Bayes and Generalized Linear classification model

Knowledge management system framework for collaborative open source software development

The global economy crisis has made software development a prohibitively expensive undertaking, thus forces developers to look for a viable alternative, namely the Open Source Software (OSS). In addition to low acquisition cost, free access to OSS source codes and components provides a more flexible, highly customizable development process. In the realm of software development, the emerging Open Source Software Development (OSSD) brings in altogether a new concept of software engineering that revolutionizes the software process and working culture. In this regard, some researchers have raised critical questions pertaining to the appropriate life-cycle that underpins an OSS model, the optimal methodology to support the OSSD, and the essential toolkits to support the OSS methodology. Currently, there is a lack of knowledge concerning a development model for Knowledge Management System (KMS), and the architecture to support a collaborative OSSD that can facilitate knowledge sharing among practitioners. Thus, the researcher undertook a study to investigate the current practice and to identify the relevant system components that lead to a sound and viable KMS framework for knowledge sharing in the OSS development. The formulation of the framework was realized through a critical review of the current and major methodologies in software development; however, the development of a system prototype, which was based on the prototype approach, only focused on the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC). A survey was conducted on selected OSS developers in Malaysia for the following purposes: to measure their awareness of OSS and KM, to elicit feedback on the proposed framework that could support a collaborative software development, and to validate the proposed framework’s components. Data gathered were analyzed using the Rasch Model and the internal reliability statistical procedure in SPSS that revealed a highly reliable instrument, which was based on Cronbach Alpha’s reliability coefficient of 0.97. The findings also indicated that an overwhelming majority of the respondents agreed that OSS tools for software development were urgently needed. They also concurred that using and managing these tools had to be carefully appraised for a particular knowledge domain,which could expedite the software development process. Overall, this study provides useful insights regarding the formulation of a viable KMS prototype underpinned soundly by theoretical and methodological judgments that fosters a collaborative software development environment. Lessons learned can also help create a new KM society that strives on the principles to work in a more supportive and responsible fashion

Developing collaborative system for open source software development community.

The OSS community plays a very important role in contributing to and sharing of the knowledge that can ensure the sustainability of OSS. At this crucial juncture, this paper discusses the software development that was aimed to strengthen the OSS community through a series of collaborative tools, namely forum, chat and email. The development of the system used the prototype approach and a follow-up survey on system usability was conducted involving OSS developers, which are based in Selangor, Perak, Putrajaya, and Kuala Lumpur. Findings from the survey showed that an overwhelming majority of the respondents agreed that the design aspects of the user interface and the functionality of the system had been addressed appropriately. These important findings reinforces that the current design of such a system could be developed into a full fledge collaborative system that would help the sharing of knowledge among the Community-of-Practice to embark into software development activities

A Review on Systems-Based Sensory Gloves for Sign Language Recognition State of the Art between 2007 and 2017

Loss of the ability to speak or hear exerts psychological and social impacts on the affected persons due to the lack of proper communication. Multiple and systematic scholarly interventions that vary according to context have been implemented to overcome disability-related difficulties. Sign language recognition (SLR) systems based on sensory gloves are significant innovations that aim to procure data on the shape or movement of the human hand. Innovative technology for this matter is mainly restricted and dispersed. The available trends and gaps should be explored in this research approach to provide valuable insights into technological environments. Thus, a review is conducted to create a coherent taxonomy to describe the latest research divided into four main categories: development, framework, other hand gesture recognition, and reviews and surveys. Then, we conduct analyses of the glove systems for SLR device characteristics, develop a roadmap for technology evolution, discuss its limitations, and provide valuable insights into technological environments. This will help researchers to understand the current options and gaps in this area, thus contributing to this line of research
