This causes a decline in the interest in computing among learners. Although there have been many attempts to make computing appealing, more interesting, easier and enjoyable, many educators are still using the classic methods in teaching and learning computer programming. The aim of this work is to call the attention of computing educators to an approach that uses 3D virtual environments to teaching programming. We introduce this approach through a tool that offers innovative methods for teaching wide spectrum of computing topics; Alice. Alice is an innovative programming environment that can be used to create stories by animating characters in a 3D world. Alice is written in Java and has an object-oriented flavor. The paper presents a review of research on using Alice in motivating teaching programming and problem solving, algorithmic thinking, software modeling, and game design and implementation. New trends of using Alice in teaching computing are also suggested.","PeriodicalId":302120,"journal":{"name":"2021 22nd International Arab Conference on Information Technology (ACIT)","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128831258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This era has become easy to access any information thanks to smart devices such as phones, iPods, etc., and it is nice to turn our world into a virtual world in which we live and learn about the most important things learned. This research will discuss many topics about virtual reality, its technologies, the most important problems in it, and the goal of virtual reality in academic life. The paper discusses many issues related to virtual reality. It is a relatively new branch of computer science. An enormous amount of effort has gone into research on understanding biological systems, and extract the basic principles of intelligent behaviour, and developing practical applications of virtual reality technologies since previous years. The ultimate goal of this science is to gain access to “powerful virtual reality technologies”. Hover, humanity must be careful when creating virtual reality technologies that are similar and perhaps, to some extent, identical to humans.","PeriodicalId":302120,"journal":{"name":"2021 22nd International Arab Conference on Information Technology (ACIT)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114900211","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The prevalence of cybercrime among children at the global and national levels imposes serious concerns. Cybercrimes penetrated largely during the digital transformation of education that facilitated children to access cyberspace unconditionally. Methodology: The research is based on reviewing the academic literature relevant to cybersecurity awareness’s and its impact on protecting children in cyberspace. Main Findings: The findings highlight the significant role of cybersecurity awareness in reducing the impact of cyberattacks against children. Awareness of cybersecurity and the protection of children in cyberspace are interlinked with each other. Comprehensive cybersecurity awareness programs for children can significantly reduce the spread. Widespread awareness programs in the educational curriculum while utilizing all the required safety criteria to guarantee that the children are Trustworthy, secure, and ensuring their data safety is crucial step to consider. Social Implications: The article highlights the cybersecurity awareness measures that should be considered for children to provide them safe cyberspace platforms. Secure cyberspace for children to get education during the global spread of the Corona pandemic is the dire current social need. Originality/Novelty of the Study: The global spread of the Coronavirus has considerably affected people’s daily lives. Due to increased dependability on online platforms during pandemic, we can name this situation as cyber-pandemic. Data breaches and cyberattacks rises dramatically due to a lack of cybersecurity awareness among the citizens.","PeriodicalId":302120,"journal":{"name":"2021 22nd International Arab Conference on Information Technology (ACIT)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124267357","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With an increase in demand for outpatient health care services in Kenya, the Government is faced with the problem of forecasting this type of demand. Its in this regard that this research develops a supervised machine learning model for the modeling and prediction of demand for outpatient health-care services in Kenya using artificial neural networks, Linear Regression analysis and Decision trees. The objectives of this research were to analyze, develop and evaluate machine learning models in the modeling of outpatient healthcare data. Model evaluation was via the deviance residuals and mean squared error. Data used in this research was secondary data obtained from the Kenya Household Health Expenditure Utilization Survey, 2017 in which the R statistical software was used to aid the analysis. A total of nine thousand one hundred and fifty-nine outpatients were used in the research and data attributes were age, gender, cost of outpatient health care sought and number of visits made by the outpatients. Experiment results showed that age and gender of an outpatient were significant factors in the estimation and forecasting of demand for outpatient healthcare services for which the neural network architecture was used in the data training. Cost and Visits were used as primary variables in decision tree construction for the classification and regression decision trees respectively.","PeriodicalId":302120,"journal":{"name":"2021 22nd International Arab Conference on Information Technology (ACIT)","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125539909","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Decades of research and advancements in blockchain led to the development of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), which are tokens that represent digital assets and have proof of ownership embedded. The novel characteristic of each token being unique and distinctive from another has strengthened the security of assets and reinforced unique ownership. This cutting-edge technology continues to grow and capture the attention of the masses as more applications of NFTs are identified with time. This research aims to present a comprehensive overview of NFT and its underlying core technologies, namely blockchain and Ethereum. Further, numerous platforms for buying and selling NFTs are presented along with the applications of NFTs across various sectors including education, fashion, sports, and digital art.
