Teaching in the time of COVID-19: the challenges faced by teachers in initiating online class sessions

The severity of COVID-19 has called the education world to transition into cyberspace education to support the continuity of teaching and learning. The stages of Movement Control Order (MCO), Conditional MCO, and Restricted MCO have resulted in prolonged closure of schools within affected areas. In the Guidelines of Teaching and Learning (T&L) during MCO,’ the Ministry of Education, Malaysia (MoE) has come up with several initiatives for the continuation of education, which include adopting the synchronous and asynchronous modes of online T&L. Nevertheless, they will not be successful if there are any barriers in the process of implementation. As teachers are the key players in preparing online classes, this research looks into the challenges that arose before they conducted the sessions. One hundred ninety-two public secondary school teachers responded to this research through open-ended questions. Teachers were asked what the challenges are that they face in preparing, planning, and designing the online lessons. Eight themes emerged in this research; namely, time, environment, technological access, interest, knowledge, technological skills, course design, and communication self-efficacy. This study proposes problems that can be further researched for better online T&L processes

Learning analytics experience among academics in Australia and Malaysia: A comparison

Several studies have been conducted to evaluate the experience and involvement of academics in learning analytics (LA) due to its potential for improving teaching and learning. However, findings often reflect an educational culture which is indicative of the institutional or national context where the study has occurred, resulting in bias regarding LA perspectives. Therefore, this study seeks to compare and contrast the experiences of LA among academics in Australia and Malaysia, with intentions to learn from each other's experience. Areas of comparison were: (1) academics' involvement in LA activities; (2) academics' responses to the institutional capacity in supporting LA; and 3) academics' concerns about the ethical issues surrounding LA. A survey of 353 Australian and 224 Malaysian academics revealed similarities and differences. It is evident from these results that the context and infrastructure for LA are at different stages of development in both countries. Nevertheless, the results provide an interesting reflection on academics' needs, institutional understanding, policies, and educational cultural biases in applying LA in teaching and learning in higher education institutions

Suppression of PGE2 production via disruption of MAPK phosphorylation by unsymmetrical dicarbonyl curcumin derivatives

Curcumin is an important molecule found in turmeric plants and has been reported to exhibit some profound anti-inflammatory activities by interacting with several important molecular targets found in the mitogen-activated protein kinase and NF-κβ pathways. As part of our continuing effort to search for new anti-inflammatory agents with better in vitro and in vivo efficacies, we have synthesized a series of new unsymmetrical dicarbonyl curcumin derivatives and tested their effects on prostaglandin E2 secretion level in interferon-γ/lipopolysaccharide-activated macrophage cells. Among those, five compounds exhibited remarkable suppression on prostaglandin E2 production with IC50 values ranging from 0.87 to 18.41 µM. The most potent compound 17f was found to down-regulate the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 mRNA suggesting that this series of compounds could possibly target the mitogen-activated protein kinase signal transduction pathway. Whilst the compound did not affect the expression of the conventional mitogen-activated protein kinases, the results suggest that it could disrupt the phosphorylation and activation of the proteins particularly the c-Jun N-terminal kinases. Finally, the binding interactions were examined using the molecular docking and dynamics simulation approaches
