The talking‐head animation is an instructional animation capable of improving the communication skills through enhancing the pronunciation skills; whereby a word is pronounced correctly and accurately. This had been proven by several researches, which indicate that learning with interactive animation is much more advantageous than conventional learning. Hence, the mistake in choosing the realistic level of an animated character at a particular condition has negative effect on students’ learning performance. Therefore, this study would focus on the Uncanny Valley phenomenon, which is understood to have an effect on the students’ emotions. This phenomenon is mainly attributed to the animated character design which is almost similar to real humans. To overcome these problems, the non‐realistic three‐dimensional and two‐dimensional talking‐head animation courseware has been developed to ensure that students get the maximum learning from the point of emotional reaction and lea.....

The aim of this study is to investigate the acceptance of usability of segmented animation of program linear controlled (KPL).The acceptance of usabiltity was tested in aspect of teaching and learning, motivation, design and technical. This instrument was adapted from Jamalludin, Baharudin and Zaidatun (2001) and it contained 15 items that need to be answered by respondents. The respondents consisted of 35 students in the final semester of the Diploma in Electrical Engineering program from a Polytechnic in the Klang Valley. The data obtained were analyzed using the descriptive mean method (SPSS version 19.0). Findings showed that the segmented animation of program linear controlled (KPL) had adhered to the development standards and is suitable to be used as teaching medium for the topic of OSI Model...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of segmented-animation, playpause- animation and continuous-animation in facilitating learning of low prior knowledge learners. A courseware prototype entitled Transmission Media was developed for the research purpose. The courseware contains nine animations on various topics in Transmission Media. Pre-test and post-test experimental design was employed on three different groups respectively. The data collected were analyzed statistically by using one-way between-groups ANOVA with post-hoc comparisons. Apparently, the result suggests that segmented-animation was significantly more effective than play-pause-animation and continuous-animation in enhancing students’ learning performance. The result indicates that segmented-animation was beneficial for students in conducting adequate cognitive processes of the information depicted in the animation. Furthermore, the result shows that allowing students to decide the segmentation in play-.....

Membaca teks dari World Wide Web telah menjadi suatu kebiasaan kini. Ini dapat dilihat dari sudut perubahan kecenderungan pembaca yang lebih berminat terhadap bahan dari internet berbanding media bercetak. Mengambil kira perkembangan ini, adalah penting bagi pereka bentuk instruksi berasaskan web memilih fon yang sesuai bagi meningkatkan tahap kebolehbacaan pelajar, terutamanya bagi blok teks yang panjang. Sehubungan itu, kajian ini adalah bertujuan untuk melihat kesan penggunaan fon serif dan san serif kategori percetakan dan kategori paparan komputer dari sudut kebolehbacaan teks Bahasa Melayu di laman web. Bagi tujuan tersebut, empat fon telah dipilih iaitu Georgia (serif) dan Verdana (san serif) bagi kumpulan responden pertama dan Times New Roman ( serif) dan Arial (san serif) bagi kumpulan responden kedua. Georgia dan Verdana adalah fon yang direka khusus untuk pembacaan teks pada paparan komputer manakala Times New Roman dan Arial adalah fon yang direka khusus untuk media berceta.....

Kajian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis faktor psikologi, sosial, teknologi dan institusi dalam mempengaruhi tanggapan mudah guna pelajar terhadap laman perkongsian video pendidikan berfokus dalam melihat penerimaan dan penggunaan laman tersebut bagi tujuan pendidikan. Model Penerimaan Teknologi (TAM) digunakan sebagai model asas dalam kajian ini, serta model lanjutan dibina sesuai dengan keperluan kajian yang sedang dibangunkan. Beberapa siri video tutorial mempelajari perisian dalam bentuk screencast dibangunkan dan dimuatnaik ke laman perkongsian video pendidikan berfokus (LearnSoftware) yang dibangunkan bagi tujuan kajian ini. Soal selidik digunakan sebagai instrumen kajian. Kajian ini berbentuk kuantitatif dengan data dikumpulkan daripada 294 orang pelajar yang sedang mengikuti pengajian Multimedia (major dan minor) dari 5 buah Institusi Pengajian Tinggi Awam (IPTA). Melalui analisis regresi berganda yang dilakukan mendapati faktor psikologi dan teknologi adalah pengaruh utama tan.....

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of various user-control strategies of segmented animation in learning abstract contents or processes that are not naturally visual on the cognition of students. In particular, the study examined the effects of five different user-control strategies: linear user-control, random user-control, free user-control, program-control, and continuous user-control. The research design was quasi-experimental and the data obtained were statistically analysed using ANCOVA and ANOVA. The instruments involved were pre-test, post-test, and NASA-TLX cognitive load test. The sample size consisted of 265 semester-two students enrolled in the Diploma in Networking System. The results indicated significant differences in the post-test and cognitive load test outcomes. In conclusion, this study suggests that the use of user-control, either linear user-control or random user-control, were sufficient strategies for learning abstract contents in segmented ani.....
