Education plays a primary role in developing countries, fostering their economy and augmenting their human potential. It is now easier to learn newest methods and techniques in many fields, particularly in engineering and science, where IT-based educational tools - such as online laboratories - have been instrumental to improve the teaching and learning process. Online laboratories are widely used in several universities around the world, particularly in developed countries. There is evidence that online laboratories have a positive effect on the students' skills and promote cooperative and collaborative learning by allowing them to work remotely without restrictions. This led to a quality increase of the teaching and learning process. Likewise, students from other countries, namely in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, could also benefit from using online labs. This paper studies the existing collaboration among the researchers working with online labs, in the MENA region, by reviewing a selection of articles from conferences and journals. The patterns of cooperation and collaboration among them are discussed and analyzed, as well. In the authors' opinions, the community characterized in this paper should establish more collaboration links in order to strength its capacity of influencing the adoption of online labs, in that region.

Pendidikan merupakan hak semua warganegara, tak terkecuali bagi warganegara yang memiliki kelainan fisik, emosional, mental, intelektual dan/atau sosial, yang berhak memperoleh pendidikan khusus. Salah satu implementasinya adalah berupa kebijakan dari dinas pendidikan kabupaten/kota yang menyarankan sekolah reguler siap sedia memberikan program inklusi jika memiliki siswa Inklusi atau berkebutuhan khusus, salah satunya adalah siswa inklusi kesulitan belajar. Permasalahan yang sering dihadapi dalam penetapan siswa inklusi adalah saat menyelenggarakan proses belajar mengajar, kepala sekolah bersama dengan guru-guru harus memilih dan menetapkan peserta didik yang patut mendapakan pendidikan inklusi sesuai dengan kriteria yang telah ditetapkan. Saat ini penilaian dari setiap kriteria belum menggunakan suatu metode keputusan, sehingga penilaian antar peserta masih menggunakan prediksi atau perkiraan yang dapat menimbulkan penilaian bersifat subyektif. Dampak lebih lanjut dari permasalahan tersebut yaitu menimbulkan kurang tepatnya pemilihan siswa inklusi kesulitan. Dengan perkembangan teknologi informasi yang mencakup segala bidang, perlu dirancang sebuah sistem yang dapat membantu dalam penetapan siswa inklusi kesulitan belajar, agar  dapat membantu mempermudah pihak sekolah dalam menyeleksi dan menetapkan siswa inklusi kesulitan belajar, sehingga hasil yang diinginkan tepat sasaran dan sesuai dengan kriteria yang telah ditetapkan. Hal tersebut dapat terbantu dengan sistem pendukung keputusan penetapan siswa inklusi kesulitan belajar menggunakan metode Analitycal Hierarcy Process (AHP) yang mampu membantu memecahkan persoalan yang kompleks menjadi lebih sederhana dan mempercepat proses pengambilan keputusan. Abstract Education is the rightful authority of all citizens, not to the exception of citizens with physical, emotional, mental, intellectual and / or social impairments, who are entitled to special education. One of the implementation is in the form of policy from the district / municipality education office that recommends regular schools are ready to provide inclusion program if they have Inclusive or special needs students, one of them is student of learning inclusion difficulties. The problem often encountered in establishing inclusive students is when conducting the teaching and learning process, the principal along with the teachers should select and assign learners who deserve inclusion education in accordance with predetermined criteria. Where the assessment of each criterion has not yet used a decision method, so assessment among participants still uses predictions or estimates that may lead to subjective judgments. So as to elicit precisely the selection of student inclusion of learning difficulties. With the development of information technology covering all fields, it is necessary to design a system that can assist in determining student inclusion of learning difficulties, in order to help facilitate the school in selecting and establishing student inclusion of learning difficulties, so that the desired results on target and in accordance with the criteria that have been set.

Rapid advances in technology affect many areas of our lives, one of which is education. In the local Indonesian context, teachers and schools sometimes still see technology as a threat to the teaching and learning process. Many schools forbid their students to bring their devices to school. Some modern schools are trying to embrace technology by allowing students to carry and use their tools at school and provide free WiFi at school. However, it does not mean that teachers are ready to adapt and use technology in their classrooms. To get the benefits of information technology advances in teaching and learning process at schools; we need to find a technology that is easy for the teacher to use and fun for the students to learn it. Kahoot is a form of technology in the Student Response System (SRS) with a gamification approach that can increase student involvement in the class-room. This study aims to look at the students' perceptions of Kahoot and see the effect on non-cognitive aspects, namely Likeness and Interesting, and cognitive aspects, namely Achievement. As many as 153 students were involved in this study consisting of 127 students in the experimental class and 26 students in the control class. We implemented Kahoot in chemistry lessons for three months in the experimental class then surveyed to see their perceptions. We also compare the academic score of chemistry lesson from both classes before and after the implementation. The results show that Kahoot has a positive effect on student perceptions and non-cognitive aspects, but the application of Kahoot has no direct impact on the cognitive elements observed, namely Achievement.
