THE PROCESS-BASED APPROACH OF KMS ASSIMILATION IN ORGANIZATION: THE GROUNDED EXPLORATORY CASE STUDY

Satu pendekatan kualitatif berdasarkan paradigma tafsiran akan disokong melalui kajian kes sebagai suatu pendekatan metodologi untuk menjawab soalan-soalan dalam kajian ini. Teknik-teknik wawancara, permerhatian dan tinjaun dokumen digunakan untuk mengurnpul data daripada sumber yang pelbagai. Wawancara yang separa�struktur dan tidak berstruktur dijalankan antara Ogos 2009 dan Mac 2010. Pada masa yang sama, Grounded Theory (GT) digunakan untuk tujuan analisis data bagi memperolehi jawapan daripada wawancara-wawancara dengan mengkonseptualisasi data kepada bahagian-bahagian tertentu sebagai tema-tema berbangkit untuk dapatan tersebut. Pendekatan GT dilanjutkan kepada penggunaannya dengan kajian kes, sambil mengekalkan sepenuhnya prinsip perbandingan malar dan persampelan teoretis untuk mencapai keadaan matang. Paradigma model yang dicadangkan oleh Strauss dan Corbin (2008) digunakan sebagai alat untuk membantu integrasi kerumitan pemikiran semasa proses analisis serta semasa membentangkan keputusan

Empowering Users to Game Development Platform for Visually Impaired Students

Computer-exercise game is well served for visually impaired students to engage their physical and mental health exercises. However, these type of games are increasingly unchallenged for long-term usage due to apathy patterns and restricted contents. In this paper, we describe how such drawbacks can be avoided by offering the game development platform. The platform provides a service-based architecture, which empowers teachers to build or to customize numerous game designs for entertainment and learning purpose without jeopardy. Based on our evaluation study, we found evidence that teachers of visually impaired students are satisfied with the game development approach in terms of system reliability and software usability. In addition, the teachers also have very good perception in the aspects of trust, responsiveness, applicability, usefulness and enthusiasm toward the game development approach
