The wide use of online classroom platforms involved all levels of students from preschool to higher education level. These included students with disabilities as well. Most issues arise due to most online classroom platforms not focusing on different types of students, especially students with special needs. Preliminary findings show that most of the platforms designed do not meet the needs of students with disabilities. For this study, the focus is given to students with visual perceptual disabilities. Previous research proved that students with visual perceptual disabilities mostly faced issues that deal with interface elements that include the selection of color, font, size, and design. These issues make their learning process challenging. Hence this study has been carried out with two objectives which are to identify the visibility issues for students with visual perceptual disabilities with the current interface of online learning platforms and to identify the interface elements that suit their needs. Findings from this study can be used as a guideline in developing the interface of an online learning platform for visual perceptual disabilities students. This study will bring a positive change in the life of students with visual perceptual disabilities as they will be able to use the online classroom with ease.","PeriodicalId":37324,"journal":{"name":"International Journal on E-Learning: Corporate, Government, Healthcare, and Higher Education","volume":"106 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76070962","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}

As a result, instructors of advanced and basic design courses were obligated to teach remotely. The emerging virtual studio culture and the unplanned experience need assessment and evaluation, as they may mark a shifting momentum to develop architecture education in unprecedented ways. A large body of research on online education has paid immense attention to the definition of distance and online learning, their types, and their efficiency. The aim of the research is to propose a conceptual framework of open and distance learning (ODL) for studio-based architectural design courses. This research explores various aspects that contribute to the success factors of ODL for studio-based architectural design courses which then forms the fundamentals to develop the conceptual framework of ODL for studio-based achitectural design courses to improve the quality of teaching and learning process. This research is significant in enhancing the effectiveness of ODL and the teaching and learning of studio-based architectural design courses. This research will use a content analysis method approach from literature review study to identify the important aspects and success factors for studio-based architectural design courses. The research will contribute in developing a model to enhance teaching and learning experience through the ODL approach in the studio-based architectural design courses where high focus interactivity between teachers and learners is inherently unique. Overarchingly, this research provides insights on ODL as a future direction in teaching architecture.","PeriodicalId":37324,"journal":{"name":"International Journal on E-Learning: Corporate, Government, Healthcare, and Higher Education","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83430827","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 the acceleration of urbanization, people's living environment has been greatly improved. However, community neighborhoods are in a dilemma of strangeness, and it has a certain negative impact on social stability and community residents. This is the result of a combination of factors. Many researchers have shown that most people desire to have harmonious neighborhood relations. In the Internet era, it is important to consider how to promote neighborly relations, enhance communication between neighbors, and promote neighborly trust and mutual harmony. Based on the concept of sharing economy, we propose the concept of creative mutual help community for this purpose. It's called Any Help, a mobile community support platform based on the Internet and big data. It can effectively promote friendly communication and mutual help among neighbors. People can connect and help each other through the platform and let people with their own specialties to solve the things they are good at. This will maximize the value of everyone, efficiently manage social resources, and allow people to seek assistance. As a result, a peaceful community will emerge, with the potential to support sustainable social development.","PeriodicalId":37324,"journal":{"name":"International Journal on E-Learning: Corporate, Government, Healthcare, and Higher Education","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78166599","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}

Many teachers were caught unprepared, compounded by a lack of the necessary hardware tools and a lack of mastery in selecting and managing software that supports teaching properly. For the second wave in autumn 2020, educational institutions were better prepared in Hungary and universities had already experienced hybrid education to some extent. Now, after the third wave, a lot of experience has been gathered from both the teaching and student sides. Based on the students' experiences, we analyse how they would like to listen to lectures, practicals and labs at university. The results of the analysis show that students are open to online learning for lectures, but still prefer face-to-face classes for tutorials and labs. The students' views will help to inform the way in which higher education institutions should deliver courses at the end of the pandemic period, which will also help to rationalise the way universities operate in the future in Hungary.","PeriodicalId":37324,"journal":{"name":"International Journal on E-Learning: Corporate, Government, Healthcare, and Higher Education","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86159133","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}

Being a fundamental component in virtually all IoT projects, a wrong MQTT configuration or usage may lead to critical problems for both system owner and users. Driven by the need for further problem-driven MQTT training involving challenging IoT use cases, we propose Online-MQTT, an online lab course for MQTT. Online-MQTT is designed to be used by a wide range of learners while pinpointing to two crucial research gaps. We build on the unique Open DigiLab4U infrastructure to realize our scalable MQTT online lab. We first elaborate on our educational considerations such as the selection of topics, the target group, our didactic approach and finally technical challenges to accomplish an MQTT experiment with remote access to physical assets. Next, we detail the course content, by illustrating MQTT basic features and drawing the learning path towards demonstrating two current research gaps, i.e., enhancing MQTT with semantics and real-time capabilities. The main achievement is an online MQTT course that is expected to be of high interest for MQTT beginners, experts and researchers.","PeriodicalId":37324,"journal":{"name":"International Journal on E-Learning: Corporate, Government, Healthcare, and Higher Education","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88977509","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}
