To investigate which methodology is appropriate for developing learning object for IBook. 2. To analyze type of learning object that able to attract student's attention and how far students can understand and give commitment to learn through learning object instead of printed note or lecture. 3. To develop learning object which gives positive impacts on student's attention towards learning process Focused on two areas : students of the Technical University of Malaysia Malacca who enrolled subjects Operating System (BITS 1213). Specified Learning Object that will be use. Video,Animation,Interactive Image,Interactive Slide Show,Crossword puzzles,and quiz Methodology ADDIE model It is the appropriate methodology to be used in the development of learning object. Project Significance Nowadays, students are relying on technology to gain knowledge. Beside attend to college, they are more likely to learn from the online resource. When learning in class,students always get bored easily and less understand to the topic being teach. Thus,learning object will be develop. This project is develop to create a new learning environment. Learning object is any entity, digital or non-digital, which can be used, reused or referenced during technology supported learning. It is a interactive method that can help students understand easily. Expected Outcome All of this video was developed by using a few of software application that is Adobe Premier CS6 and Adobe After Effect CS 6. Literature review :Comparison Table Audio production are integrate in learning object by with an application software Adobe Sound Booth, Powtoon, Adobe Flash CS 6 and Adobe Premier CS6 Navigation Structure Problem Statement Learning object is a interactive medium that will attract students to be more participate to learn this particular subject The learning object will be use a variety of media such as the combination of text, animation, audio and much more will help to engage students, promote interactivity and accentuate concepts Design 10 learning object Productions of Audio The development of instructional learning objects for teaching Operating System chapter 4 (Concurrency: Mutual Exclusion and Synchronization) and chapter 5 (Concurrency: Deadlock and Starvation) to tertiary students using iBook Production of video Productions of Animation All of this animation was developed using a few of software application that is Adobe Flash CS6,Powtoon and Mikumikudance animation software. Scope & Methodology Product Configurations management: iBook Author 2 The difficulty is that there are a number of students who learn slowly. Some of them cannot understand the subjects described by the lecturer in the classroom. If students read the book, they are easily bored and sleepy when they see a lot of writing in textbooks A few of the textbooks contain images in it to sustain the explanation, however mostly they make use of black and white. It is not interactive at all and excessively plain. Objective To produce an interactive learning object for iBook with complete modules as an alternative tool for students to learn through their compatible devices such as iPad. Students also will absorb information, increasing their attention, and commitment of this particular subject through this learning object. Project Background Hardware and software Implementation

Geography of Malawi CCST 9004 Appropriate Technology for the Developing World Indicator 3: Literacy Rate of 15 – 24 year-olds According to the World Bank, microfinance is defined as: Microfinance is the provision of financial services to the entrepreneurial poor.This definition has two important features:it emphasizes a range of financial services—not just credit— and it emphasizes the entrepreneurial poor. Goal 2: Achieve Universal Primary Education Appropriate Technology: SIRDAMAIZE 113 Population: 16,777,547 (estimated in July 2013) Population growth rate: 2.758% (2012 est.) (World ranking: 18) Age structure Children: 50% of total population HIV/AIDS Human Resources Education Poverty Food Insecurity Erratic Rainfall Patterns/Droughts Corruption Lack of Foreign Investment Languages Indicator 5: Proportion of seats held by women in National Parliaments Central Region: 1-9 (Yellow) *Capital: Lilongwe Northern Region: 10-15 (Red) Southern Region: 16-27 (Green) Lake Malawi (Blue) Land surface area 45,747 square miles Challenges: · shortage of qualified primary school teachers; · inadequate physical infrastructure; · poor retention of girls mainly from standard five to eight; · high disease burden due to HIV and AIDS consequently leadinto absenteeism, especially among girls who take care of the sick · Poverty levels are high in rural areas. Malawi – Climate/Agriculture Trading partners: South Africa, Zambia, China, US Challenges: · shortage of qualified primary school teachers; · inadequate physical infrastructure; · poor retention of girls mainly from standard five to eight; · high disease burden due to HIV and AIDS consequently leading to absenteeism especially among girls who take care of the sick; and · poor participation of school committees and their communities in school management. · Poverty levels are high in rural areas. 1 Doctor per 50,000 people Hinders the ability to deliver medical services to people in need Reason: Emigration Lack of access to education Aggravated by AIDS > 4 nurses are lost each month This also affects other sectors: Government Business Farmers Human Resources HIV/AIDS - Contemporary GDP: US $14.58 billion (2012 est.) (World ranking: 142) Labor force: agriculture: 90%; industry and services: 10% (2003 est.) Countries main income Agriculture Main crops: maize, tobacco, tea, sugar cane, groundnuts, cotton, wheat, coffee, and rice Industry: tobacco, tea, sugar, sawmill products, cement, consumer goods Challenges: limited capacity in terms of human and material resources to facilitate adult literacy and continuing education; early marriages perpetuated by socioeconomic factors; socio–cultural factors that make people believe that men should be leaders while women are followers; and, poor learning environment which affects girls in primary and secondary schools e.g. sanitary facilities, long distances to education facilities, extra burden from domestic chores especially for adolescent girls resulting into high dropout rate. 1964: Independent from Britain Indicator 1: Maternal Mortality Ratio Malawi Demographics Problems - Outline Indicator 4: Share of Women in Wage Employment in the Non- Agriculture Sector measure of employment opportunities ( i.e equal proportions of men and women in formal employment) Yet, more women participate in the agriculture sector than in the formal wage employment especially in jobs that require professional qualifications. Due to: literacy levels, gender disparity and cultural values. Facts About the Product: Drought tolerant maize variant Able to mature under limited rainfall Suitable for marginal rainfall areas 136 days to mature Normally: 150 – 180 days Able to mature under limited rainfall Suitable for marginal rainfall areas
