This project aims to monitor the students who have the possibility to be absent from classes for more than the permissible percentage. Thus, the purpose of this research is to develop a students' attendance monitoring system with Short Message Services (SMS) notification or also known as SAMS. This system helps the AAD to manage the absenteeism report from lecturers and it automatically sends the information through SMS notification to the parents and the students themselves. The system has been developed using the Waterfall Model methodology that consists of five phases which are analysis, design, implementation, testing, and documentation. The results from the usability testing show that SAMS can help lecturers to monitor students' absenteeism more easily and efficiently. Furthermore, the integration of the system with SMS is very useful as it can directly notify the parents regarding their children's attendance problem.

Life as a student is known to be challenging due to academic load, assignment deadlines, bouncing back and forth to class, extra-curricular activities, etc. This is a typical daily scenario on campus that require good time management. In the preliminary investigation of this study, students prefer to take away their food and dine in their rooms so that they will not waste their time by spending too much time in the cafeteria. It is found that convenience is the prime factor for the students as the orders can be made as simple as a few clicks on any mobile device, and the food and beverages are delivered to their doorstep. Additionally, this can prevent them from spending too much or wasting time buying food. Since food delivery becoming popular and preferable recently, thus, this study is aimed to develop a mobile application na...

Due to that reason, this Android phonic reading application has been developed for preschool children since the technology can attract and engage children's attention. This application is known as 'Kenali ABC' and focuses on the phonic reading approach. This application has been tested using the usability test on the targeted users including preschool children, preschool teachers and Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) lecturers as the experts. The results of the usability test indicate that the application has potential to be used as an alternative method in reading using phonic technique.

Recently, the demands on classifying images according to their features have shown great interest in many areas such as digital library, searching engine, or any content-based image retrieval system with the advantage of advanced computer technologies. However, some of the data used for image classification includes unnecessary information such as noise and the influence of sun or light. Hence, this study was performed to reduce the unnecessary data obtained during the feature extraction phase prior to classify the images using neural network. In this study, flower image classification is based on the low-level features such as colour and texture to define and describe the image content. This study also analyzes the classification’s performance of the dataset which consists of 180 patterns with 7 attributes for each type of flower using backpropagation neural network. The...

By integrating the system with SMS gateway, it will enable the primary school notification system to send information to parents’ mobile phone directly. The traditional methods of notifying parents about the school matters by sending letter and written memo are time consuming and the updated information may not reach the parents. This integration allows information to be disseminated from computer to mobile phone at any time without requiring face to face meeting or the use of other media such as paper-based notice or verbal notice from the students. Furthermore, parents can always be alert and aware of the latest announcement or information no matter where they are. A usability testing was conducted to 20 users to survey the feedback on SMS technology to notify parents. The results from the testing stated that 100% of users give positive feedback about the ease of use ...

Unfortunately, people do not consider a wallet as an important item to be protected from damage, theft or even misplaced by its owner. People tend to carelessly misplace their wallets or even lost their wallets. Therefore, this study focuses on the development of a mobile application for wallet tracking. The mobile app was developed for the Android Operating System with Google Maps API and Google Positioning System (GPS) tracker. The Firebase Real-time database is functioning as a cloud database that provides real-time responses. The prototype has been evaluated with real users using the functionality and usability test. The results from the testing show that the application has the potential to be used as a wallet tracker and assist people to track the lost wallet.

Reading skill is the most crucial ability as it is required in the upper level of discovery of knowledge. In this research, Phonic Reading Technique and Multisensory Approach are blended with interactive multimedia, which incorporates multimedia elements such as text, graphics, video, and animation. The manner of applying those techniques in "Bijak Membaca" is discussed. The contents of this application are specifically designed to visualize letters, words, sentences, and pronunciations in the Malay language for dyslexics, aged 7 -8 years, with awareness of their characteristics. In order to evaluate the design of its content, heuristic testing is conducted among multimedia lecturers and IT undergraduates. The result reveals that the contents are well designed with the inclusion of Phonic Reading Technique, Multisensory Approach, and suitable multimedia elements. It is also concluded as interesting, user-friendly, attractive, valuable, and supportive.
