Lack Of Knowledge

This paper focuses on the design of learning application with the purpose to provide knowledge on child sexual abuse (CSA) to children ages 7 to 9 years old. Currently, children are not aware of prohibited adult touches to their body due to lack of knowledge on CSA. Moreover, information on how to avoid potential of CSA and self protection is still lacking. In such situation, they need to be educated and made aware of the danger of sexual abuse. In providing a better learning aid, this study incorporates multimedia learning and persuasive technology in developing a learning application named Persuasive Multimedia Learning Application (PMLA). Additionally, this study also adopts the components in constructivist learning environment (CLE) for the organization of the contents in designing PMLA. Then, perceived motivation test was conducted to assess children’s learning experience after using the application. The results show that the integration of multimedia and persuasive technology has potential in motivating children in using the application and facilitating them for better understanding on CSA.

Thinking Processes

The authors examine the Microburst Framework and the literature on Cloud and Mobile Computing with a focus on the educators’ thinking processes and the power of the constructivist learning environment interactions. The Microburst Framework is designed to address the increased thinking processes needed in Cloud and Mobile computing, and is based upon other theories and frameworks as described in the article. The purpose of this article is to provide educators of all ages an efficient and effective framework that could be useful in their instructional designs and skill acquisition for Cloud and Mobile Computing learning environments.
