This work determines the elements that a mobile application must have to supporta hospital-home intervention program aimed at improving motor development in prematureinfants. The application is designed to work in Android and iOS platforms for mobile devicesand to support the hospital-home strategy developed at the Universidad de La Sabana. In thisstudy, an evolutionary device was created, developed and validated along with its Unity3D tool. The result is an intuitive application that allows parents to strengthen the motor developmentof their children through a series of 10 exercises designed to stimulate the baby. Itconsists of a registry of babies, fundamentals, exercise modules and follow-up procedures.The conclusions indicate that although the application is intuitive, some parents have difficultyaccessing a mobile device, so it is necessary to create a web version of the application.","PeriodicalId":13648,"journal":{"name":"Int.

Teachers playa pivotal role in accelerating the widespread use of AR in education, making it crucial toget their thoughts and perspectives. Based on the perspectives of mathematics teachers, thisresearch aims to determine the necessity for developing an augmented reality learning applicationin the geometry topic for elementary school students through a questionnaire that hasbeen answered by 52 elementary mathematics teachers from Northern State Malaysia. Thefindings of this study were analyzed using descriptive analysis with a value of Cronbach alpha(α = 0.98). The findings of the study indicate three main elements that need to be emphasizedfor the AR development process, namely learning strategy design, presentation design, andinteractivity design. Based on the mean of the research conducted, the findings of the threeelements indicate a significant necessity. The development of AR applications must incorporatethese three elements in order to assist elementary school mathematics teachers in designingAR learning applications that maximize student achievement.","PeriodicalId":13648,"journal":{"name":"Int.

Chatbots support learners in their learning processes byhelping them to find the appropriate answers to their questions. We aim to conduct a systematicliterature review (SLR) to uncover the use of AI chatbots to offload teachers from repetitive andmassive tasks. This article surveys the literature over the period 2016–2022 on the use of AIchatbots in the E-learning domain as they automatically answer learners’ questions. Thus, weidentify, collect, and synthesize multiple research studies on the application of AI chatbots in theE-learning field.

Our study shows that chatbots effectively interact with learners.However, there are some drawbacks: (1) Educational chatbots are still limited in their localKnowledge Base (KB), which makes them unable to answer students’ questions correctly. Thus,Chatbot’s KB needs to be extended through external sources, enabling the chatbot to update itsKB over time, making it rich and saving time. (2) Lack of reliable external sources to enrich thechatbot’s KB and make it up to date. (3) Lack of educational chatbots with smart services suchas speech recognition and sentiment analysis to boost the user experience and make learningeasier. In our SLR, we discuss these limitations and propose some solutions to fill the gap.","PeriodicalId":13648,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Interact. Mob.

People are looking tothe digital world for answers to challenges in their daily lives as the number of mobile applicationsgrows. People with impairments now have equal access to learning opportunitiesbecause to technological advancements. The majority of their time is now spent on mobiledevices by kids. As a result, using mobile applications to solve their problems would be quitesuccessful. Mobile learning, also known as e-learning programs that utilize mobile devices,can be employed as a form of therapy to enhance both executive functioning and generalwell-being.

The performance of NIDSs can be evaluated by the numberof detected attacks and false alarm rates. Machine learning (ML) methods are commonly usedfor developing intrusion detection systems and combating the rapid evolution in the pattern ofattacks. Although there are several methods proposed in the state-of-the-art, the development ofthe most effective method is still of research interest and needs to be developed. In this paper,we develop an optimized approach using an extreme gradient boosting (XGB) classifier withcorrelation-based feature selection for accurate intrusion detection systems. We adopt the XGBclassifier in the proposed approach because it can bring down both variance and bias and hasseveral advantages such as parallelization, regularization, sparsity awareness hardware optimization,and tree pruning. The XGB uses the max-depth parameter as a specified criterion toprune the trees and improve the performance significantly. The proposed approach selects thebest value of the max-depth parameter through an exhaustive search optimization algorithm.We evaluate the approach on the UNSW-NB15 dataset that imitates the modern-day attacks ofnetwork traffic. The experimental results show the ability of the proposed approach to classifyingthe type of attacks and normal traffic with high accuracy results compared with the currentstate-of-the-art work on the same dataset with the same partitioning ratio of the test set.","PeriodicalId":13648,"journal":{"name":"Int.

Experimental group students were taught using blended learning based on interface instrumentation technology, while the control group students were taught using conventional learning by the same lecturer. To collect data, the Critical Thinking Test (CTT) and Physics Achievement Test (PAT) were administered, which data were then analyzed in independent and paired t-tests, as well as the d-effect sizes test on SPSS 26 at a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that students in the experimental group obtained significantly higher critical thinking skills and achievement scores than students in the control group. It can be concluded that IIE-BL is effective in improving students’ critical thinking skills and achievement in the Basic Physics II course.
