​​VIRTUAL SIMULATION-BASED REFORM OF APPAREL CURRICULUM​

With the rapid development of modern science and technology, computer technology has been widely used in various industrial fields of society, and the education industry is no exception. The application of virtual reality technology in clothing design has greatly improved the efficiency of designers in the redesign process and perfected the wearing effect of clothing. In the face of the future demand for innovative design talents, cultivating talents who meet the requirements of clothing design is an important issue and task for university teaching. At present, there are problems in the teaching of clothing design profession such as single traditional teaching mode, weak creativity of students' works, disconnection between teaching content and practice, imperfect teaching resources and imperfect teaching details. In this paper, virtual reality technology is introduced to reform the curriculum system of the clothing profession through a mixed research approach, using experimental project-based teaching combined with quantitative research methods. Through practice, it is proven that the integration of virtual technology into apparel teaching creates a simulation effect for teachers and students that cannot be matched in the traditional apparel design teaching process and enhances students' interest in learning. The application of virtual reality technology is a new and efficient teaching method that has emerged in recent years with the development of computers, combining technology and art, and based on the teaching of clothing design projects, which greatly improves learning efficiency and teaching effectiveness and can effectively improve students' innovation ability, and has a broad development prospect.

Reflecting on the experience of the rationalisation and consolidation of the faculties and campuses at Walter Sisulu University: successes and challenges

One of six comprehensive universities in South Africa, the Walter Sisulu University (WSU) combines the best academic credentials from universities and technikons in an effort to effectively meet the socio-economic development needs of the nation, in the Eastern Cape Province, and the Buffalo City Metropolitan Municipality, Chris Hani Municipality, King Sabata Dalindyebo Municipality. An institution of a new generation, the WSU is more than the sum of its parts. Its goal is to improve community potential through quality academic programs, research, and community engagement projects with a strong emphasis on involvement and sustainable development. This article considers the different successes and difficulties associated with the WSU rationalization and consolidation of faculties. This theoretical article observes that the government started using rationalization and consolidation as a tool to reconfigure and reform the higher education sector. Rationalization and consolidation are nothing new, and several nations have used them to revamp or reorganize their higher education industries. The article provides literature debates and scholarly background on comparing the South African higher education sector's proposed rationalisation and consolidation to those of other nations' higher education sectors, however, would reveal the most ambitious reform program ever launched in recent memory. The conceptual paper adopts a thematic qualitative approach. The primary wave of the mergers mandated by the government that happened in 2004 and 2005 was preceded by the 2002 merger of Walter Sisulu University.

Internet of Things (IoT): An Educational Need

Education around the world is experiencing major paradigm shifts in educational practices of teaching and learning under the umbrella of ICT enable learning environment. The world is witnessing spontaneous growth in communication technology computer network and information technology. Development of new broadband communication services and convergence of telecommunication with computers which can be set to be the internet of things have created numerous possibilities to use a variety of new technology tools for teaching and learning systems. The Internet of things is so much into everything these days that it has started to be called as Internet of everything. It is not very surprising that internet of things, as it is now called has made its way into the education industry as well. Keeping in the mind the intervention of computers and smart phones into our lives and its effect on the educational system today, it. Sounds a bit farfetched at first for the internet of things to do anything with the education industry. While some of the effect that internet of things can bring into the education sector are apparent but some will be implicit and are likely to make a silent change from the inside. The internet of things can begin disrupting the education on procedure as early as kindergarten and can continue to do so through 12th standard but perhaps most profound effects occur in higher education. We will discuss the change that the internet of things can bring into the field of education and the challenges and impact of the internet of things in the 21st century education sector.

At present, the solidification of disciplines and majors in higher education, unclear training objectives, and the need to strengthen teacher information literacy are practical problems that constrain the optimization of the “artificial intelligence+” talent training model. Scientifically adjusting training objectives, upgrading the “artificial intelligence+” talent training model in higher education by integrating multi-disciplinary curriculum systems, strengthening school enterprise cooperation, industry education integration, establishing credit recognition mechanisms and diversified evaluation mechanisms. The quality evaluation of “Artificial Intelligence+” talent cultivation in higher education in the era of education informatization 2.0 is looked as the multiple-attribute decision-making (MADM) issue. In this paper, we extended the dual Hamy mean (DHM) operator and prioritized aggregation (PA) operator to 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic sets (2TLNSs) to propose the 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic prioritized DHM (2TLNPDHM) operator. Finally, a decision example for quality evaluation of “Artificial Intelligence+” talent cultivation in higher education in the era of education informatization 2.0 is employed to show the 2TLNPDHM operator. The main contributions of this study are summarized: (1) the 2TLNPDHM operator is built; (2) the 2TLNPDHM operator is designed to cope with the MADM with 2TLNNs; (3) an empirical real-life example for quality evaluation of “Artificial Intelligence+” talent cultivation in higher education in the era of education informatization 2.0 is supplied to proof the designed method; (4) some comparative decision studies are used to show the rationality of the 2TLNPDHM.

Machine Learning Clustering Analysis Towards Educator’s Readiness to Adopt Augmented Reality as a Teaching Tool

The advanced digital revolution has shifted conventional teaching and learning into digital education. In consistency with digital education, Augmented Reality (AR) applications started to shine in the education industry for their ability to create conducive teaching and learning environments, especially in remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. Movement Control Order (MCO) implemented in the year 2020 has led to emergency remote teaching and learning without much preparation for all educators and learners. Throughout these few years, most educators got familiar with digital teaching tools and online teaching platforms. Hence, this study aims to explore educators’ readiness to adopt AR as a teaching tool in their teaching during the endemic period. A quantitative approach via questionnaire has been distributed to the Private Higher Education Institutions (PHEIs) in the states of Selangor and Kuala Lumpur. Machine learning using a clustering technique was used to find patterns between the demographics of educators towards the AR perception of educators. The results revealed that educators' perceptions of AR technology are influenced by their familiarity with it, their personal beliefs, and their attitudes toward technology. This study provides an insightful overview of the benefits of AR applications in education and the implications of the adoption of AR in Malaysian schools and educational institutions. It also highlights the importance of motivating educators and students to embrace AR as an enhancement learning tool, providing a valuable discussion for the government, learning institutions, and educators on the implementation of AR in Malaysia.
