User interface for networking subject based on component display theory using ADEPT model / Nornisra Ismail

Networking is such a complex subject. Students have to conquer all the topics to score in the
networking subject. Particularly, students have to read the book while learning networking
subject. They have to read page by page to understand the topics. Unfortunately, most of the
students cannot understand or remember what they had read. They are also easily get bored
because of the long explanation in textbook.
Thus, this user interface is buih to provide alternative ways in learning environment. This user
interface is based on Component Display Theory (CDT) and using Advanced design
environment for prototyping with tasks (ADEPT) model. This project will focus on user
interface for networking subject which is one of the subjects offered in Faculty of Information
Technology and Quantitative Sciences (FTMSK), Mara University of Technology (UiTM).
The methodology researcher had used in this user interface are unstructured interview with
lecturers regarding e-leaming design, researcher observations and extracting information from
journal, articles from internet and magazines.
The significants of the project are, this user interface could help students in learning networking
subject in an interactive environment and enhance their understanding about the subject and
FTMSK UiTM will also get benefit from this user interface by applying it because it can
increase student's performance in networking subject.
Researcher had also done three user interface with different subject which are Networking,
Additional Mathematic and English language. As a result, researcher had found CDT cannot be
implemented in non-technical subjects.
