Objective – The aim of this study is to measure the quality of a guideline proposed for the development of instructional media with a digital storytelling concept (in Malay, the MPBPD which is Media Pengajaran Berkonsepkan Penceritaan Digital). The quality is measured by comparing the perception of teachers who were either experienced or inexperienced instructional media designers.
Methodology – The process of data collection involved two phases of activity: firstly, measuring the quality of the proposed guideline and secondly, evaluating the perception variances of the designers based on their experience in developing teaching materials. The guideline is measured using Q-Qguide instrument (with Cronbach alpha value of 0.97) which involved 70 respondents who were school teachers in the northern region of Malaysia. Interview sessions involving seven respondents were also conducted to further strengthen the findings. Mean and t-tests were used to measure the quality dimension.
Findings – Findings showed that the guideline was clearly perceived to be of quality. The quality dimensions measured were perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and perceived ease of understanding, applicability and interaction. Furthermore, the respondents also agreed on the significance of the guideline as a guide to those designers who faced problems in the development stage. Besides, there was no significant difference in the perception between the experienced and inexperienced respondents on the overall quality of the guideline. This demonstrated the viability of the guideline.
Significance – The implementation of the MPBPD guidelines for touch screen tablets is essential in guiding the designers cum school teachers to develop MPBPD applications using mobile teaching-assisted technology.

After the Industrial Revolution, the fifth phase of human civilization i.e. the Age of Information
and Communication Technology (ICT) is emerging. In accordance with this advancement, the
Islamic world has started looking at how Islamic religious education can be easily and effectively
delivered via useful ICT applications such as websites, digital libraries and specific software
packages to name a few. Technological advancement and communication and cyberspace have
indeed given a new dimension to the study of hadith in a digital manner. In other words, it is also
considered an effort to strengthen, uphold and preserve the texts of hadith in this era of
prevalent use of digital devices. It seems that this study has identified three influential websites
i.e. al - Durar al – Saniyyah, Mawqi’ al-Islam as well as Islamweb that can be used to ease the
takhrij al-hadith or simply defined as hadith extraction in the collections. Terminologically, takhrij
is the science of hadith extraction and authentication; including validating the chains of
transmitters by hadith scholars as well as grading the authenticity level of hadith. In other words,
it refers to the process of tracking the hadiths in various collections. Thus, the study is in fact
intended to demonstrate the ease of takhrij in the era of ICT and also to explore the websites of
hadith which can facilitate learning processes. The methodology used was the quantitative data
collection of hadiths on websites. On a positive note, the study found few takhrij facilities that
have been refined on these websites including (1) Masdar al – Hadith (original source text), (2)
Ranking of hadith, (3) Sanad (chain of hadith narrators), (4) Matn (text of hadith), (5) The
position of hadith in other sources by specifying Shawahid (witnesses) and Mutaba'at (followup),
(6) Al-wa Jarh ta'dil (a systematic approach to critiquing a narrator's position as a narrator),
(7) Categories of hadiths based on the Sanad and also (8) Hukm al-Hadith (derivation of hadith
ruling). It is again to emphasize that all these takhrij facilities are provided in the three websites
stated earlier. Above all, Islamweb is the best website that can be used by many researchers as
it has been applying comprehensively the above-mentioned eight takhrij facilities.
Evaluation of online training is a necessity to its future as a viable alternative method to classroom training. The purpose of Study 1 was to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiencies of online training as it compared to current classroom training with Nebraska Law Enforcement Training Center's (NLETC's) Jail Management trainees. Trainees were randomly assigned to receive either online or classroom training. Learning, motivation, and attitudes were measured for instructional effectiveness. Instructional time and cost/benefit calculations were used as measures of efficiencies. Results indicated, as predicted, that online training is as effective an instructional method as classroom training, and more efficient than classroom training. No meaningful learning differences occurred between the two groups, but online training was completed in almost half the time of classroom instruction and at a lesser cost. However, the classroom group reported higher motivation and positive feelings concerning their instruction than did the online group. Study 2 experimentally examined learning, instructional time, motivation, and attitude advantages of multimedia included in the Jail Management online training courses. Although hypothesized that video would enhance learning, motivation, and attitude, there were no differences in UNL student participants' test scores or surveys scores whether they received training with text only, audio with the text, or video with the text. Only instructional time differed among the groups.
This paper describes the educational opportunities of teaching in a real time wireless classroom using mobile devices. Conventional classroom learning has certain weaknesses. We present a survey from two hundred undergraduate students on the problems faced in conventional classrooms. From the survey results, specific mobile learning applications are being developed for students and instructors. These applications could be used on a Pocket PC, notebook and mobile phone. We provide a variety of instructional application such as classroom chat room, collaborative text editor, synchronization of power point slides, accessing on line courseware on a mobile device, sending and receiving feedback, email and accessing to remote computing resources. The system allows the instructor to give on line assessments in class, which are graded instantly. Learning objects are proposed to keep track of learning activity effectively.
This paper reports on a case study of a teacher from a technical education institution who explored the educational affordances of PDA technology over a period of six months. Based on this teacher’s perspectives, the study was designed to inform our own understanding of educational affordances of this new and emerging technology. Understanding of educational affordances is important in the context of planning a suitable intervention to support pedagogically effective integration of PDA technology. The study explicated a set of five affordances of PDA technology: as a multimedia-access tool, connectivity tool, capture tool, representational tool and analytical tool. We call on further research to expand this set into a more comprehensive collage of educational affordances of PDA technology.
The use of computerized adaptive testing (CAT) has expanded rapidly over recent years mainly due to the advances in communication and information technology. Availability of advanced mobile technologies provides several benefits to e-learning by creating an additional channel of access with mobile devices such as PDAs and mobile phones. This paper describes the design issues that were considered for the development and the implementation of a CAT on mobile devices, the computerized adaptive test on mobile devices (CAT-MD). Throughout the development of the system, formative evaluation was an integral part of the design methodology. The recommendations, suggestions and the results of the formative evaluation were used to improve the system in order to make the assessment procedure more effective and efficient. These results of the formative evaluation are also presented here.
ABSTRACT This paper describes the evaluation of an online training course in Neonatal Medicine, which involved medical practitioners from across Europe. The paper focuses on the findings from an analysis of the online discussion groups. The project aimed to develop an online course for practitioners and included the development of four modules. Delivery was achieved using hybrid technology via distribution of course materials on CD ROMs accompanied by an online learning environment and associated Web discussion boards.
