They actively participate in the transmission of knowledge. The university’s future planning heavily relies on their feedback on the current teaching and learning techniques. The Learning Management System (LMS), an i-Learn system, has been used by Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) to implement blended learning in their teaching and learning methods. Student Feedback Online (SuFo), which UiTM has made available to its students, allows them to evaluate the teaching and learning process. However, there are issues with the validity and reliability of the SuFo question in evaluating the course, the lecturer’s performance, the classroom environment, and scepticism in the students’ responses brought up by the previous study. Therefore, this study aims to understand how students perceive SuFo questions and investigate how students feel about SuFo questions and any potential biases in student evaluations. This study analyses data using quantitative methods and a survey along with SPSS. One hundred students from various faculties have fully responded to the survey. The results demonstrate that there are no gender-based biases in student ratings and that the students strongly agree if the SuFo questions are modified and changed. There are also some suggestions for future planning such as changes of SuFo questions and reduced the number of SuFo questions.","PeriodicalId":319652,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Conference on Computing (ICOCO)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130242192","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 advantage of VR lies in its capability in creating a sense of presence and immersion, however it is still a major challenge to enable humans to feel the weight of the object in VR. There have been remarkable advancements in the development of haptic interfaces throughout the years. However, a number of challenges limit the progression to enable humans to sense the weight of virtual objects. Pseudo-haptic approach is a less costly alternative with better mobility compared to haptic interfaces. It is a software approach seeks to use the overall dominance of the visual system to create haptic illusions to render the perception of weight. In this paper, a pseudo-haptic model using passive force to simulate weight perception is proposed. The hand pressures are captured during the interaction to simulate the objects’ behavior to create the pseudo-weight illusion. The design and implementation of the force detection and visual feedback modules are discussed, and the preliminary evaluations of the force sensing resistors are presented.","PeriodicalId":319652,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Conference on Computing (ICOCO)","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116400489","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 BDC network model was earlier formulated, verified and validated using data collected in Sarawak, Malaysia. Then, a web-based BDC network system was implemented and subsequently tested by 7 other areas in Malaysia. The data collected using the system was then used to further evaluate the predictive ability of the BDC network model. The validity period of the dengue hotspots identified by the BDC network model was measured based on the accuracy of the predictive power analysis and Spearman’s Rank Correlation Coefficient (SRCC). Based on the results, using prior one-week data was sufficient to predict the dengue hotspot for the following week and subsequent two weeks. This shows that the hotspots are valid for two weeks. The accuracy for the outbreak areas is above 60%. Most of the model reported an SRCC above 0.70 which indicated a strong positive relationship between the hotspots in the targeted model and the validated model. Due to the accuracy and SRCC values obtained, it is suggested that the BDC network model can proceed further with retrospective data for other dengue outbreak areas in Malaysia and a prospective study for the areas that participated in this study.","PeriodicalId":319652,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Conference on Computing (ICOCO)","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128783399","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}

In this research, we aim to develop methods for gaining experience with examining fake articles by suggesting noteworthy articles on the basis of an analysis of others’ responses to the articles.

The Scrum technique, which is a process that gradually, iteratively, and continuously provides software based on time boxes, is another study that supports agile practitioners’ recent shift towards this method (sprints). It consists of user stories that are delivered during sprints by a Scrum team made up of team members, a Scrum Master, and a Product Owner. User stories are kept in product backlogs. The integrated needs prioritization methodologies have been created by a small number of scholars. However, the majority of the research is on non-agile software development. The prioritization of both functional and nonfunctional user stories simultaneously during Agile-Scrum Software Development (ASSD) is one of the main gaps that has been ignored by all of these methodologies, according to the literature review conducted by the researchers. The purpose of this study is to outline a research plan for creating an integrated user story prioritizing approach that combines non-functional and functional user stories of the ASSD (i-USPA). The preliminary findings demonstrate the critical importance of understanding the significance of non-functional user stories or requirements during the early stages of software development using the agile methodology, particularly in ASSD, in order to produce high-quality software while staying within budget and time constraints. The data was acquired from a small group of experts or software practitioners who use Agile, particularly the Scrum technique, in their organizations.","PeriodicalId":319652,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Conference on Computing (ICOCO)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126396155","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}
