The inclusion of e-tutoring programs to support secondary school students is an international practice that is reinforced by both the education policies of the Ministries of Education and the potential of technology. The operation and management of the relevant programs is a challenging process, as the goal is to effectively support students and improve their learning. In the present work, the management approach of an e-tutoring program that operates from the school year 2012-2013 is presented. The approach includes a) the presentation of the processes through which the e-tutoring program is carried out, b) the information systems for monitoring the progress of its operation, such as students’ participation, the duration of their participation, their learning needs, the correlation with their performance and c) the etutors’ training procedures. In addition, practices are emerging that offer a comprehensive monitoring framework, which favors the proper functioning and further development, as well as the increasing participation of students.
Customized moodle-based learning management system for socially disadvantaged...journalBEEI
This study aims to develop Moodle-based LMS with customized learning content and modified user interface to facilitate pedagogical processes during covid-19 pandemic and investigate how teachers of socially disadvantaged schools perceived usability and technology acceptance. Co-design process was conducted with two activities: 1) need assessment phase using an online survey and interview session with the teachers and 2) the development phase of the LMS. The system was evaluated by 30 teachers from socially disadvantaged schools for relevance to their distance learning activities. We employed computer software usability questionnaire (CSUQ) to measure perceived usability and the technology acceptance model (TAM) with insertion of 3 original variables (i.e., perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and intention to use) and 5 external variables (i.e., attitude toward the system, perceived interaction, self-efficacy, user interface design, and course design). The average CSUQ rating exceeded 5.0 of 7 point-scale, indicated that teachers agreed that the information quality, interaction quality, and user interface quality were clear and easy to understand. TAM results concluded that the LMS design was judged to be usable, interactive, and well-developed. Teachers reported an effective user interface that allows effective teaching operations and lead to the system adoption in immediate time.
Open Education Bridging the Gap Inequality of Higher Education opportunityIJRESJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: E-learning system through a variety of applications can encourage the realization of the ideals of education to provide equality of opportunity to all society. The essence of open education is to eliminate the limitations to be able to gain access to higher education for the community at large. Success story of online tutorial services of Universitas Terbuka (UT/Open University) is a proof that can demonstrate more efficient delivery of educational achievement. Perceived satisfaction of students to the online tutorial services became evident that the optimal use of technology to bridge the establishment of an optimal learning process so that students can obtain a quality education is not inferior to conventional universities. This condition will be able to change the paradigm of society that the opportunity to obtain higher education which was originally impossible becomes possible, which is easy, comfortable, flexible and affordable.
E-teaching is an innovative teaching strategy
using the e-learning technology to empower both learners and
teachers thus providing opportunities for superior learning
experiences. The study enhances the education practice of those
teachers handling different graduate programs specifically
those offered by Lyceum of the Philippines University -
Batangas. This study focused on assessing and analyzing the
different important factors pertaining to the readiness and
inclination of the teachers. This involves introduction of
e-teaching on the part of the teachers and e-learning on the part
of the graduate students to their respective programs of study.
The findings revealed that the graduate school teachers are
aware of their vital role in developing effective delivery of
instruction and their openness on the active participation in
conducting classes in an online learning environment. Also, the
university is ready to take the e-teaching program as a mode of
instruction for the Graduate School.
Information communication technology is essential for any organisation to stay competitive, and in the education sector it has helped in enhancing modern ways of learning and teaching; therefore helping in delivering high quality education and preparing students for the information and technology era. Studies have acknowledged its importance from early primary education to that of a positive impact. However, Botswana’s’ primary education system hardly adopts and use it despite the country’s government promotion of its adoption, and efforts channeled to promoting its usage. Therefore, this study sought to understand barriersassociated with its adoption in primary education in Botswana with a view of recommending ways to fortify its adoption.The research followed the quantitative approach, with a questionnaire distributed in selected primary schools. Findings indicated a low rate of ICT utilisation, lack of basic ICT skills, lack of infrastructure amongst the key barriers to ICT adoption and utilisation in the primary education system. In conclusion there is need of implementation of policies enforcing adoption and utilisation of information communication technology and the need of involvement of all stakeholders to be involved to promote it. Lastly rigorous training to have qualified personnel to spearhead the adoption and utilisation is essential.

From Access To Success: Improving The Higher Education Learning Experience Fo...Helen Farley
Higher education institutions are increasingly relying on digital technologies that require internet access to support learning and teaching, particularly from a distance. Disadvantaged student groups that do not have access to the internet, such as incarcerated students, are often excluded as a result. This paper reports on a project that will develop and trial a sustainable and innovative learning management system (LMS) called Stand-Alone Moodle (SAM) that is able to operate without internet access. SAM will enable institutions to provide these students with similar course materials, activities and support available to other students, thereby improving the quality of the student learning experience. SAM will be trialled within a Queensland correctional centre and evaluated using a design-based research methodology. The findings and recommendations from the project will be disseminated to learning institutions and correctional centres across Australia to encourage equitable access to education for disadvantaged students. The digital literacies of staff and students, the maintenance of the technology and sufficient access to computer labs all had to be accommodated within the design of the project.

A systematic literature study including articles from 2016 to 2022 was done to evaluate the various approaches, technologies, and implementation models involved in measuring student engagement during learning. The review’s objective was to compile and analyze all studies that investigated how instructors can gauge students’ mental states while teaching and assess the most effective teaching methods. Additionally, it aims to extract and assess expanded methodologies from chosen research publications to offer suggestions and answers to researchers and practitioners. Planning, carrying out the analysis, and publishing the results have all received significant attention in the research approach. The study’s findings indicate that more needs to be done to evaluate student participation objectively and follow their development for improved academic performance. Physiological approaches should be given more support among the alternatives. While deep learning implementation models and contactless technology should interest more researchers. And, the recommender system should be integrated into e-learning system. Other approaches, technologies, and methodology articles, on the other hand, lacked authenticity in conveying student feeling.

innovative and creative ways to incorporate these tools into classroom learning. As such, the goal of this
study is dual : to investigate students’ knowledge of ICT and its integration in secondary schools settings
on the one hand and to explore their perceptions of their teachers’ ICT integration in the classroom and its
advantages on the other. Quantitative research approach implying a self-designed questionnaire was used
for data collection. A total of 132 student-teachers from first year at the Teacher Training School of
Natitingou were used as participants. The results showed that these participants : (1) have a good
knowledge of the concept of ICT, its tools and its significances; (2) perceive what teachers do when
integrating ICT in the classroom ; and (3) acknowledge the multiple advantages of ICT integration in the
classroom.
DISCUSSION ON LARGE-SCALE ONLINE EDUCATION PRACTICES AMID THE NOVEL CORONAVIR...ijejournal
The delay of the school term in China, caused by the Corona Virus Disease 2019(COVID-19)pandemic,
reinforced the importance of remote teaching. The latter enabled teaching operations to continue
nationwide and provided colleges and universities with opportunities to carry out education and teaching
reforms that are also aligned with the rapid development of technology. Upon considering remote teaching
operations in China University of Geosciences, Beijing, this paper puts forward recommendations for
teaching and education management practices. We propose that colleges and universities break free from
the restraints of traditional teaching methods, establish a security system of online courses, offer high
quality online contents, and accelerate the construction and sharing of effective courses.
This research is based on the problem of the outbreak of the coronavirus
which has become a global pandemic and a national disaster. The purpose of
this study was to describe the perceptions of lecturers and students on online
learning problems during the COVID-19 pandemic. The data was collected
with the help of questionnaires. This quantitative descriptive study was
conducted among lectures and students who selectedd randomly. Data
analysis used a Likert scale and the results of perceptions used descriptive
analysis. The results of the study show that the perceptions of lecturers and
students on online learning problems during the pandemic consisted of six
aspects (lecture plans, online lecture activities, online lecture recording and
evaluation, lecture assistance services, and lecture support facilities).
Furthermore, it can be agreed that effective online learning occurs due to the
interaction of students and lecturers as well as technology connected
to education.
This research aimed to develop online learning guidebook for junior high
school level. The method used in this research was research and development
in terms of 4-D model development which consists of four main stages:
Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate. The informants were study
consisted of 2 expert informants and 17 junior high school teachers in
Kendari City, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. This type of research data was
descriptive qualitative. The data collected were in the form of suggestions
and responses put forward by the informants. This information was collected
and summarized to improve the learning products developed. The results
showed that the developed online learning guidebook has met the appropriate
criteria in the media and language aspects by the respective experts. Besides,
Teachers find that this guidebook is very interesting and useful as a guide in
online learning, especially during the current pandemic. Furthermore, the
developed guide book fosters curiosity of teachers to find out the use of
applications in the book, and makes teachers think creatively in making
learning media. The online learning guidebook is advantaged for the teachers
to provide interesting learning media and material for students especially in
this pandemic era.

Graduate School Cyber Portfolio: The Innovative Menu For Sustainable Developmentacijjournal
In today’s milieu, new demands and trends emerge in the field of Education giving teachers of Higher Education Institutions (HEI’s) no choice but to be innovative to cope with the fast changing technology. To be naturally innovative, a graduate school teacher needs to be technologically and pedagogically competent. One of the ways to be on this level is by creating his cyber portfolio to support students’ eportfolio for lifelong learning. Cyber portfolio is an innovative menu for teachers who seek out strategies to integrate technology in their lessons. This paper presents a straightforward preparation on how to innovate a cyber portfolio that has its practical and breakthrough solution against expensive and inflexible vended software which often saddle many universities. Additionally, this cyber portfolio is free and it addresses the 21st century skills of graduate students blended with higher order thinking skills, multiple intelligence, technology and multimedia.
The notion of digital literacy has become the trend in any field, including this research. This research aimed to find the level of digital literacy and adequate and inadequate domains in each pre-service teachers of English education digital literacy group. Quantitative research with digital competence framework or DCF then adjusted and validated through the expert judgment by Aiken V as the main questionnaire occurred to measure the level of digital literacy. Indonesia and Thailand pre-service teacher in various universities participated in this research. The research found that: i) The most level of digital literacy whether in Indonesia and Thailand, the pre-service teacher has an intermediate level followed by basic and advanced and ii) The researcher claims ‘information’ as an inadequate domain and ‘implement tech to learning’ as the adequate domain in each level of digital literacy. Further research is needed to examine effectiveness of project-based learning, problem-based learning, and case study in enhancing digital literacy through qualitative and quantitative research.
A transition in learning model implementation occurred in higher education
during the COVID-19 pandemic. Online learning answers the needs of longdistance
learning. However, not all higher education institutions are
thoroughly prepared for online learning. Therefore, this study aimed to
understand the online learning experience at higher education institutions
from the perspectives of multigenerational teaching staff. This study utilized
mixed-method research through a quantitative and qualitative study. A total
of 93 participants; male (n=40) and female (n=57) teaching staff filled out a
research questionnaire consisting of closed and open questions about online
learning. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and qualitative
thematic analysis. The results indicated positive and negative contributions
of the online learning process that affect the effectiveness of online learning
according to multigenerational teaching staff perspectives. These findings
contribute to the global discussion about the online learning process in
higher education and recommend the usage of online learning for teaching
staff across generations, complemented with an effective instructional design
that would help provide a rigorous learning environment.
Online teaching at China’s universities during COVID-19AI Publications

MULTIMODAL COURSE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION USING LEML AND LMS FOR INSTRUCTIO...IJMIT JOURNAL
Traditionally, teaching has been centered around classroom delivery. However, the onslaught of the
COVID-19 pandemic has cultivated usage of technology, teaching, and learning methodologies for course
delivery. We investigate and describe different modes of course delivery that maintain the integrity of
teaching and learning. This paper answers to the research questions: 1) What course delivery method our
academic institutions use and why? 2) How can instructors validate the guidelines of the institutions? 3)
How courses should be taught to provide student learning outcomes? Using the Learning Environment
Modeling Language (LEML), we investigate the design and implementation of courses for delivery in the
following environments: face-to-face, online synchronous, asynchronous, hybrid, and hyflex. A good
course design and implementation are key components of instructional alignment. Furthermore, we
demonstrate how to design, implement, and deliver courses in synchronous, asynchronous, and hybrid
modes and describe our proposed enhancements to LEML.
Novel R&D Capabilities as a Response to ESG Risks-Lessons From Amazon’s Fusio...IJMIT JOURNAL
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) management is essential for transforming corporate
financial performance-oriented business strategies into Finance (F) + ESG optimization strategies to
achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
In this trend, the rise of ESG risks has divided firms into two categories. Former incorporates a growthmindset that creates a passion for learning, and urges it to improve itself by endeavoring Research and
development (R&D) -driven challenges, while the other category, characterized by risk aversion, avoids
challenging highly uncertain R&D activities and seeks more manageable endeavors.
This duality underscores the complexity of corporate R&D strategies in addressing ESG risks and
necessitates the development of novel R&D capabilities for corporate R&D transformation strategies
towards F + ESG optimization.

NOVEL R & D CAPABILITIES AS A RESPONSE TO ESG RISKS- LESSONS FROM AMAZON’S FU...IJMIT JOURNAL
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) management is essential for transforming corporate
financial performance-oriented business strategies into Finance (F) + ESG optimization strategies to
achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
In this trend, the rise of ESG risks has divided firms into two categories. Former incorporates a growthmindset that creates a passion for learning, and urges it to improve itself by endeavoring Research and
development (R&D) -driven challenges, while the other category, characterized by risk aversion, avoids
challenging highly uncertain R&D activities and seeks more manageable endeavors.
This duality underscores the complexity of corporate R&D strategies in addressing ESG risks and
necessitates the development of novel R&D capabilities for corporate R&D transformation strategies
towards F + ESG optimization.
Building on this premise, this paper conducts an empirical analysis, utilizing reliable firms data on ESG
risk and brand value, with a focus on 100 global R&D leader firms. It analyzes R&D and actions for ESG
risk mitigation, and assesses the development of new functions that fulfill F + ESG optimization through
R&D. The analysis also highlights the significance of network externality effects, with a specific focus on
Amazon, a leading R&D company, providing insights into the direction for transforming R&D strategies
towards F + ESG optimization.
The dynamics of stakeholder engagement in F + ESG optimization are indicated with the example of
amazon's activities. Through the analysis, it became evident that Amazon's capacity encompassing growth
and scalability, specifically its ability to grow and expand, is accelerating high-level research and
development by gaining the trust of stakeholders in the "synergy through R&D-driven ESG risk
mitigation."
Finally, as examples of these initiatives, the paper discussed the Climate Pledge led by Amazon and the
transformation of Japan's management system.

INTRUSION DETECTION SYSTEM USING CUSTOMIZED RULES FOR SNORTIJMIT JOURNAL
These days the security provided by the computer systems is a big issue as it always has the threats of
cyber-attacks like IP address spoofing, Denial of Service (DOS), token impersonation, etc. The security
provided by the blue team operations tends to be costly if done in large firms as a large number of systems
need to be protected against these attacks. This leads these firms to turn to less costly security
configurations like IDS Suricata and IDS Snort. The main theme of the project is to improve the services
provided by Snort which is a tool used in creating a vague defense against cyber-attacks like DDOS
attacks which are done on both physical and network layers. These attacks in turn result in loss of
extremely important data. The rules defined in this project will result in monitoring traffic, analyzing it,
and taking appropriate action to not only stop the attack but also locate its source IP address. This whole
process uses different tools other than Snort like Wireshark, Wazuh and Splunk. The product of this will
result in not only the detection of the attack but also the source IP address of the machine on which the
attack is initiated and completed. The end product of this research will result in sets of default rules for the
Snort tool which will not only be able to provide better security than its previous versions but also be able
to provide the user with the IP address of the attacker or the person conducting the attack. The system
involves the integration of Wazuh with Snort tool in order to make it more efficient than IDS Suricata
which is another intrusion detection system capable of detecting all these types of attacks as mentioned.
Splunk is another tool used in this project which increases the firewall efficiency to pass the no. of bits to
be scanned and the no. of bits scanned successfully. Wazuh is used in this system as it is the best choice for
traffic monitoring and incident response than any other of its alternatives in the market. Since this system
is used in firms which are known to handle big amounts of data and for this purpose, we use Splunk tool as
it is very efficient in handling big amounts of data. Wireshark is used in this system in order to give the IDS
automation in its capability to capture and report the malicious packets found during the network scan. All
of this gives the IDS a capability of a low budget automated threat detection system. This paper gives
complete guidelines for authors submitting papers for the AIRCC Journals.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly become a critical technology for businesses seeking to improve
efficiency and profitability. One area where AI is proving particularly impactful is in service operations
management, where it is used to create AI-powered service operations (AIServiceOps) that deliver highvalue services to customers. AIServiceOps involve the use of AI to automate and optimize various business
processes, such as customer service, sales, marketing, and supply chain management. The rapid
development of Artificial Intelligence has prompted many changes in the field of Information Technology
(IT) Service Operations. IT Service Operations are driven by AI, i.e., AIServiceOps. AI has empowered
new vitality and addressed many challenges in IT Service Operations. However, there is a literature gap on
the Business Value Impact of Artificial intelligence (AI) Powered IT Service Operations. It can help IT
build optimized business resilience by creating value in complex and ever-changing environments as
product organizations move faster than IT can handle. So, this research paper examines how AIServiceOps
creates business value and sustainability, basically how AIServiceOps makes the IT staff liberation from a
low-level, repetitive workout and traditional IT practices for a continuously optimized process. One of the
research objectives is to compare Traditional IT Service Operations with AIServiceOPs. This paper
provides the basis for how enterprises can evaluate AIServiceOps and consider it a digital transformation
tool. The paper presents a case study of a company that implemented AI-powered service operations
(AIServiceOps) and analyzes the resulting business outcomes. The study shows that AIServiceOps can
significantly improve service delivery, reduce response times, and increase customer satisfaction.
Furthermore, it demonstrates how AIServiceOps can deliver substantial cost savings, such as reducing
labor costs and minimizing downtime.
MEDIATING AND MODERATING FACTORS AFFECTING READINESS TO IOT APPLICATIONS: THE...IJMIT JOURNAL
Although IOT seems to be the upcoming trend, it is still in its infancy; especially in the banking industry.
There is a clear gap in literature, as only few studies identify factors affecting readiness to IOT
applications in banks in general, and almost negligible investigations on mediating and moderating
factors. Accordingly, this research aims to investigate the main factors that affect employees’ readiness to
IOT applications, while highlighting the mediating and moderating factors in the Egyptian banking sector.
The importance of Egypt stems from its high population and steady steps taken towards technology
adoption. 479 valid questionnaires were distributed over HR employees in banks. Data collected was
statistically analysed using Regression and SEM. Results showed a significant impact of ‘Security’,
‘Networking’, ‘Software Development’ and ‘Regulations’ on ‘readiness to IOT applications. Thus, the
readiness acceptance level is high‘Security’ and ‘User Intention’ were proven to mediate the relationship
between research variables and readiness to IOT applications, and only a partial moderation role was
proven for ‘Efficiency’. The study contributes to increasing literature on IOT applications in general, and
fills a gap on the Egyptian banking context in particular. Finally, it provides decision makers at banks with
useful guidelines on how to optimally promote IOT applications among employees.
EFFECTIVELY CONNECT ACQUIRED TECHNOLOGY TO INNOVATION OVER A LONG PERIODIJMIT JOURNAL
IT (Information and Communication Technology) companies are facing the dilemma of decreasing
productivity despite increasing research and development efforts. M&A (Merger and Acquisition) is being
considered as a breakthrough solution. From existing research, it has been pointed out that M&A leads to
the emergence of new innovations. Purpose of this study was to discuss the efficient ways of acquisition and
to resolve the dilemma of productivity decline by clarifying how the technology obtained through M&A
leads to the creation of new innovations. Hypothesis 1 was that the technology acquired through M&A is
utilized for innovation creation, Hypothesis 2 was that the acquired technology is utilized over a long
period of time, and Hypothesis 3 was that a long-term utilization has a positive impact on corporate
performance. The results, using sports prosthetics as a case study and using patents as a proxy variable,
confirmed all the hypotheses set. We have revealed that long-term utilization of technology obtained
through M&A is effective for creating new innovations.

DESIGNING A FRAMEWORK FOR ENHANCING THE ONLINE KNOWLEDGE-SHARING BEHAVIOR OF ...IJMIT JOURNAL
The main objective of this paper is to identify the factors that influence academic staff's digital knowledgesharing behaviors in Ethiopian higher education. A structural equation model was used to validate the
research framework using survey data from 210 respondents. The collected data has been analyzed using
Smart PLS software. The results of the study show that trust, self-motivation, and altruism are positively
related to attitude. Contrary to our expectations, knowledge technology negatively affects attitude.
However, reward systems and empowerment by leaders are significantly associated with knowledgesharing intentions.Knowledge-sharing intention, in turn, was significantly related to digital knowledgesharing behavior. The contributions of this study are twofold. The framework may serve as a roadmap for
future researchers and managers considering their strategy to enhance digital knowledge sharing in HEI.
The findings will benefit academic staff and university administrations.The study will also help academic
staff enhance their knowledge-sharing practices.
BUILDING RELIABLE CLOUD SYSTEMS THROUGH CHAOS ENGINEERINGIJMIT JOURNAL
Cloud computing systems need to be reliable so that they can be accessed and used for computing at any
given point in time. The complex nature of cloud systems is the motivation to conduct research in novel
ways of ensuring that cloud systems are built with reliability in mind. In building cloud systems, it is
expected that the cloud system will be able to deal with high demands and unexpected events that affect the
reliability and performance of the system.
In this paper, chaos engineering is considered a heuristic method that can be used to build reliable cloud
systems. Chaos engineering is aimed at exposing weaknesses in systems that are in production. Chaos
engineering will help identify system weaknesses and strengths when a system is exposed to unexpected
knocks and shocks while it is in production.
Chaos engineering allows system developers and administrators to get insights into how the cloud system
will behave when it is exposed to unexpected occurrences.

Information System (IS) research advocates employing collaborative and loose coupling strategies to address contradictory issues to address diversified actors’ interests than the prescriptive and unilateral Information Technology (IT) governance mechanisms’, yet it is rarely depicting how managers employ these strategies in Health Information System (HIS) implementation, particularly in a resource-constrained setting where IS implementation activities have highly relied on multiple international organizations resources. This study explored how managers in resource-constrained settings employ collaborative IT governance mechanisms in the case of District Health Information System 2 (DHIS2) adoption with an interpretative case study approach and the institutional logic concept. The institutional logic concept was used to identify the major actors’ logics underpinning the DHIS2 adoption. The study depicted the importance of high-level officials' distance from the dominant systemic logic to consider new alternative, and to employ inclusive IT governance mechanisms which separated resource from the system that facilitated stakeholders’ collaboration in DHIS2 adoption based on their capacity and interest.
DEEP LEARNING APPROACH FOR EVENT MONITORING SYSTEMIJMIT JOURNAL
With an increasing number of extreme events and complexity, more alarms are being used to monitor
control rooms. Operators in the control rooms need to monitor and analyze these alarms to take suitable
actions to ensure the system’s stability and security. Security is the biggest concern in the modern world. It
is important to have a rigid surveillance that should guarantee protection from any sought of hazard.
Considering security, Closed Circuit TV (CCTV) cameras are being utilized for reconnaissance, but these
CCTV cameras require a person for supervision. As a human being, there can be a possibility to be tired
off in supervision at any point of time. So, we need a system to detect automatically. Thus, we came up with
a solution using YOLO V5. We have taken a data set and used robo-flow framework to enhance the existing
images into numerous variations where it will create a copy of grey scale image, a copy of its rotation and
a copy of its blurred version which will be used to get an enlarged data set. This work mainly focuses on
providing a secure environment using CCTV live footage as a source to detect the weapons. Using YOLO
algorithm, it divides an image from the video into grid system and each grid detects an object within itself

Traditionally, teaching has been centered around classroom delivery. However, the onslaught of the
COVID-19 pandemic has cultivated usage of technology, teaching, and learning methodologies for course
delivery. We investigate and describe different modes of course delivery that maintain the integrity of
teaching and learning. This paper answers to the research questions: 1) What course delivery method our
academic institutions use and why? 2) How can instructors validate the guidelines of the institutions? 3)
How courses should be taught to provide student learning outcomes? Using the Learning Environment
Modeling Language (LEML), we investigate the design and implementation of courses for delivery in the
following environments: face-to-face, online synchronous, asynchronous, hybrid, and hyflex. A good
course design and implementation are key components of instructional alignment. Furthermore, we
demonstrate how to design, implement, and deliver courses in synchronous, asynchronous, and hybrid
modes and describe our proposed enhancements to LEML.
Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.
Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

ABSTRACT
The inclusion of e-tutoring programs to support secondary school students is an international practice that
is reinforced by both the education policies of the Ministries of Education and the potential of technology.
The operation and management of the relevant programs is a challenging process, as the goal is to
effectively support students and improve their learning. In the present work, the management approach of
an e-tutoring program that operates from the school year 2012-2013 is presented. The approach includes
a) the presentation of the processes through which the e-tutoring program is carried out, b) the
information systems for monitoring the progress of its operation, such as students’ participation, the
duration of their participation, their learning needs, the correlation with their performance and c) the e-
tutors’ training procedures. In addition, practices are emerging that offer a comprehensive monitoring
framework, which favors the proper functioning and further development, as well as the increasing
participation of students.

1. INTRODUCTION
The growing online communication capabilities have identified new opportunities in education.
Researchers and educators study and highlight appropriate ways to use technologies to support
student learning. One of the educational sectors that has been significantly affected by these
developments is distance education. Educators and learners, through appropriate environments,
have the opportunity to collaborate in real time by maintaining continuous interaction and using
speech and text. Today, the idea that through the Internet all forms of education can be made
without boundaries, it may be really happen.
The implementation of distance education with the use of digital technologies has also affected
the field of school education. Virtual schools have been developed, which offer exclusive
distance learning and courses, through appropriate environments [1, 2]. At the same time, the
schools that operate in building facilities, have strengthened their structures with synchronous
and asynchronous means of communication. The implementation of distance education emerged
as an extremely useful solution during the COVID-19 period where thanks to digital tools, all
education units were enabled to continue to offer learning opportunities.
E-tutoring programs run in real time and are used by students to support and enhance their
learning. The purpose of this study is to highlight a comprehensive e-tutoring program
management approach and to identify critical milestones that can contribute to the success of
such programs. In the following paragraphs, the principles of the e-tutoring framework will be
introduced. Afterwards, a case of an e-tutoring program will be described along with the program

management framework. This study will be completed with some proposals in order schools and
educational systems around the world, to be able to include e-tutoring programs in their
educational process.
2. LITERATURE REVIEW
E-tutoring is a distance learning service that utilizes digital technologies. It has similar
characteristics to the characteristics of teaching in a classroom. It is a teaching model, where the
teacher facilitates students to acquire knowledge, develop skills and change attitudes towards the
subject [3] and at the same time, one or more students generally seek access to knowledge or seek
support / need clarification about a specific learning need. Differences are observed in the
student-teacher collaboration environment. Thus, through a customized online environment that
includes various support tools, e-tutoring is implemented [4].
Although e-tutoring and e-learning have common features there are significant differences.
Initially, students are not required to participate in e-tutoring, nor are they required to prepare
specific work to participate in e-tutoring. Instead, students connect to the online e-tutoring
environment additionally to their daily school program. The goal of the students is to receive
support to overcome obstacles they encountered while studying the material of their regular
school program. For example, they can use e-tutoring program, if they did not understand a
concept and need some clarification, if they want extra support for an issue, or if they need some
help to solve an exercise or complete a task. In e-learning, students have clear tasks, deadlines,
mandatory participation, etc., elements that do not exist in e-tutoring [3]. Therefore, the e-
tutoring takes place after the completion of the compulsory school program, in order to further
support the students.
In different countries, e-tutoring is offered by public, private and non-profit organizations. The
implementation of e-tutoring programs in the United States is constantly increasing due to the
low cost of the service [5]. In 2020 the increase in the US is about 8% with e-tutoring emerging
as the most popular form of private education [6]. E-tutoring programs have been implemented
with great success in Canada, Korea and Taiwan.

The Ontario e-tutoring program was started in 2008 by the Canadian Ministry of Education and is
funded exclusively by the Ministry (https://courses.elearningontario.ca/). It is offered free of
charge to Ontario secondary students, five days a week, from Sunday to Thursday, from 5:30
p.m. until 9:30 p.m., giving to students extra learning opportunities. The teachers have been
trained and certified by the Canadian Ministry of Education. Using a secure digital environment,
students in grades 7 to 10 with certified educators work together, in order the latter to support
students in Mathematics through synchronous communication. In this way, more than 20,000
students are supported confidentially and anonymously. Figure 1 shows a snapshot of an e-
tutoring meeting at Home Help.
The Korean government in 2004 designed and developed the Cyber Home Learning System
(CHLS). The government's goal was to improve student performance and reduce education costs
for families. For this purpose, a specific legislative framework was developed. CHLS operates in
all sixteen (16) regional education offices in Korea. The number of teachers is adjusted based on
participation, which is increasing, as more and more families are taking advantage of the dynamic
aspects of the program. Figure 2 shows the basic services of CHLS (Learning management, study
management, guidance and counseling, self-teaching, diagnostic assessments and
teleconferencing). The services are provided to primary school students through the Korean
Ministry of Education, while to high school students through the Korean Institute for Educational
Development [7].

With the initial goal of supporting families living far from urban areas, in 2006 the Taiwanese
government launched the Online Tutoring for After School Learning program [9]. In this
program, through an e-learning platform, university students provide support to students in real
time (see Figure 3). Through the program, students received support and improved their
performance.

Figure 3. Framework of the Taiwan e-tutoring system
Several studies have been published in recent years on e-tutoring. Some of these studies provide
empirical data for programs in the United States, England, Canada, Spain, Scotland, Mexico,
Australia and Greece [10]. Studies a) highlight the potential benefits of implementing e-tutoring
programs and b) show the improvement of student performance [10]. Researchers point out that
e-tutoring under certain conditions can be more effective than traditional classroom teaching if a)
the frequency of interaction is high, b) there is immediate feedback and c) the e-tutor focuses on
the needs of the students that s/he supports.
More specifically, studies show that when students participate in an e-tutoring program: a) there
is a growing involvement in the learning process, b) there is an opportunity to highlight their
interests, c) they have the opportunity to overcome their insecurity of being "exposed" to a
question, as may be happens in the conventional classroom [10], d) they have the opportunity to
modify their view on learning and their view about a discipline [11], e) their self-confidence is
enhanced due to immediate response of e-tutors, f) e-tutors and students are given the opportunity
to use pedagogical tools that they cannot use in the traditional classroom [12], g) the idea of
cooperation and working in groups is strengthened, since students participate in a learning
community that encourages those who in the traditional teaching and learning environment were
isolated, h) “two-way learning opportunities” are observed for teachers and students, i)
communication is strengthened as the anonymity of students and teachers is maintained [2], j)
offers the opportunity for e-tutors to take more into account their students’ needs.
Research has also studied issues related to students' emotional experiences with e-tutoring [13].
Researchers point out that the limitations of the online environments may offer few opportunities
for developing positive emotions between students and teachers. For this reason, they identify the
special role of the educator, in order to enhance the development of a positive climate in the e-
tutoring environments. Another aspect of e-tutoring programs is the issue of teacher-student
collaboration. The results of research have shown that the frequent use of questions is an
appropriate technique to enhance discussion and student extroversion, so that the educator
understands the shortcomings and needs of the learner [14].
Another area that researchers have focused on is the techno-economic characteristics of e-
tutoring programs. Research shows that the cost of designing, developing and implementing e-
tutoring programs is up to five (5) times lower than the cost of other forms of support [15]. In

addition, it seems that due to the structure of e-tutoring programs, students and teachers have
more free time, are safer and have energy reserves for other activities. It also seems that e-
tutoring programs can support families who cannot afford the high cost of education, as well as
families who have difficulty accessing existing educational facilities because they live in remote
or inaccessible areas [15].
All the above were examined for the design and development of the Pierce e-tutoring online
program that operates in Greece. In the next section, the program will be presented, the
management approach of the program will be highlighted, and its perspectives will be analyzed.
3. PIERCE E-TUTORING ONLINE PROGRAM
In the context of student support and the inclusion of innovative services, the school year 2012-
2013 there was a discussion about the inclusion of an e-tutoring program within the school unit,
which would operate after the end of the daily program and would aim to support learning of the
students. The initial study focused on three issues: a) the added value that the operation of an e-
tutoring program would have, b) the ability of teachers to support an e-tutoring program, and c)
the tools that would be required to operate an e-tutoring program (see Figure 4) [16].
The innovation of the service and the opportunities that would be offered to the students and their
families, led to a high degree of acceptance of such a program in the school unit. In addition, it
was decided the program to be offered to students and their families at no extra cost. At the same
time, after an invitation, four teachers stated their intention to be trained and carry out a pilot
implementation of the program for three months, in order to obtain data on how it works. In
addition, after studying the existing e-learning environments, it was decided to use the
Blackboard Collaborate platform, as the digital tool between teachers and students. The next step
was teacher training. For this purpose, an expert in the field of distance education and online
learning undertook the training of 4 teachers, who would act as multipliers if the program
continued to operate. Two of the 4 teachers had experience in distance education and online
learning [16]. Upon completion of the teacher training, one of them undertook the coordination
and the management of the e-tutoring program.
Figure 4. E-tutoring implementation procedure
During the pilot implementation of the program, the Pierce e-tutoring online program was offered
in Ancient Greek Language and Mathematics and exclusively for 28 7th grade and 30 8th grade
students. The successful pilot implementation led to the full integration of the program for all
students from 7th to 10th grade, from Monday to Thursday for 2 hours per day. In the school year
2014-2015, the program was enriched with Physics and Modern Greek Language.

Figure 5. Blackboard Collaborate environment
In order to determine the two hours of operation of the program, the parents were given a
questionnaire. From the completion of the questionnaire, the period 19:00-21:00 was selected. As
already mentioned, the e-tutor is a teacher from the school unit and is likely to be the teacher of
the student who wishes to join the program. The student does not have to stay online for both
hours of the program. The length of his/her stay is usually determined by the student
himself/herself and his/her personal needs. Thus, a student can connect with one or more (even to
the four) programs on the same day.
Many digital tools are used for the operation of the program, such as the sharing of digital
material and the development of online activities. The material is mainly developed using
presentation, image editing or snapshot tools. The material presented on the whiteboard is fully
interactive, as students and educators have the opportunity to intervene by completing, noting,
highlighting, deleting, writing directly on the interactive whiteboard using the tools available in
the environment (Figure 5).
Also, the possibility provided to the educator to create virtual rooms is a useful tool. By creating
groups of students and placing them in virtual rooms, students have the opportunity to collaborate
and work on the production of a project. In addition, in the room the student can work
individually on his/her specific learning need. Collaborating in virtual rooms is also helpful for
students who need to overcome exposure fears in a group. In addition, the ability to assess
students with closed-ended questions (True/False and multiple choice) offers opportunities for
reflection and self-assessment for students. Another useful tool is chat. Using chat, students and
the e-tutor can communicate privately or with the whole team. In addition, emoticons play an
important role in communication, facilitating discussion and limiting potential disruption that
may occur in a large group [16].
4. MANAGEMENT APPROACH OF PIERCE E-TUTORING ONLINE PROGRAM
After the pilot implementation of the program and with the aim of the smooth and open operation
of it, an attempt was made to develop a management approach that would preserve both the
operation of the program and the monitoring of its progress. For this purpose, after the evaluation
of the pilot implementation of the program and before the start of the new school year, an open
invitation was made to teachers to take on the role of e-tutor. This process is repeated at the end
7. International Journal of Managing Information Technology (IJMIT) Vol.13, No.1, February 2021
27
of each school year where the program is evaluated, the annual report is published and the
invitation for new teachers follows. Teachers interested in taking on the role of e-tutor attend a
16-hours training program, which includes 6 hours of face to face and 10 hours of distance
training. The program is completed with the educator's micro-teaching to the other educator and
to the trainers and the exams in order to achieve his/her certification. Upon obtaining the
certification, the educator has the opportunity to take on the role of e-tutor.
With the start of each new school year, preparations are made in order to select new e-tutors from
the available team that has been developed. The selections are made under the responsibility of
the school directors and for each year 8 mathematics teachers, 8 Greek language teachers and 2
teachers of physics are selected. Then, the program coordinator using a questionnaire invites the
18 new e-tutors to state possible restrictions, in order to structure their program. The next step is
the creation of the personal URL address and room for each e-tutor. The coordinator informs the
Information Resources Management department, which undertakes to create the virtual rooms
and give access to the e-tutors with specific rules and policies. The coordinator then prepares the
education of the new students of the school, that is the students of 7th grade. The training of the
students lasts two hours and focuses a) on the use of tools, b) on the possibilities offered to
students via the e-tutoring program and c) on the proper use of the digital environment. Upon
completion of the students' education, the e-tutoring program begins, which lasts until the end of
the school year. The program as already mentioned operates daily except Fridays and weekends
[17].
The coordinator informs the e-tutors for the material repository. The repository has a specific
structure, so that it is easy to use and is constantly enriched with new material, mainly by the e-
tutors. In addition, the coordinator gives the e-tutors their URLs and specifies that they have to
inform the students about the e-tutoring sessions in two ways. One of these ways is is with
sending daily emails with the details of the session, the hours of the session, the URL and the
other one is through the Blackboard Learn and the course that has been created for the e-tutoring.
During and after each session, the e-tutors record the names and surnames of the students who
joined, their classroom, the time they stayed connected to e-tutoring and the reason why they
joined e-tutoring. For this purpose, a file has been created in the repository that is completed
online by the e-tutors. Moreover, at the end of each session, the e-tutor records the URL of the
session that took place, in a file in the repository, since all sessions are recorded and stored for a
whole year, for further use and analysis. Access to the above data is open to the coordinator, e-
tutors, directors and is offered through collaborative documents.

Figure 6. E-tutoring management approach
According to the above data, in the previous school year 2019-2020, 806 connections were made
by students of all grades (7th to 10th grade). Of these, 273 were connections for the subject of the
Greek language, 412 were connections related to mathematics and 121 were made in physics.
Most students come from 7th grade (334 connections) and the fewest from 10th grade (127
connections). The period of the lockdown (March 11, 2020 to May 11, 2020) had a negative
effect on e-tutoring sessions, since the participation of students in online courses with the
emergency remote teaching, limited the students’ need and their willingness to further utilize e-
tutoring. The instruction given to the educators for the online learning, foresaw that during the
emergency remote teaching the repetition of the material that has already been taught will be
done and no new material will be taught. Thus, on the day before the lockdown, the total
connections were 730 and during the two months (during which the emergency remote teaching
lasted) the connections reached 806.
Twice a year, in order to better coordinate the program, a report is produced with the statistics
from the data collected, in order to show the progress of the program and to highlight possible
modifications. The structured management framework that has been developed allows the
complete depiction of both the processes and the course. Finally, in the second report,
suggestions for improvement and further development are made. The whole management
approach is presented in Figure 6.
5. DISCUSSION
E-tutoring is a dynamic, enjoyable learning perspective that facilitates participation and offers a
supportive / complementary way of learning. In addition, it offers opportunities for students and
9. International Journal of Managing Information Technology (IJMIT) Vol.13, No.1, February 2021
29
educators to come together and at the same time helps students overcome phobias and difficulties
they may have had in the conventional classroom. The operation of e-tutoring programs is an
innovative educational approach. E-tutoring programs is a product innovation as they are
introduced in education as something new and significantly challenging in relation to the
characteristics of other student support structures. In addition, it is a process innovation since it
appeared to be a new and significantly improved way of learning. The operation of the program
led to the need to have an organizational innovation that offers an open framework of operation
and organization. Finally, they are a marketing innovation since their integration was an
important intervention that contributed to the school's reputation.
Despite the above particularly innovative features, some issues arise that need further study in the
management of e-tutoring programs. Initially, it would be useful for the system to monitor both
the academic progress of the participants and their development. Data provided by Korea
highlight the significant differences between children who regularly participate in e-tutoring
programs and those who do not. However, the positive impact that e-tutoring programs can have
on the academic achievements of secondary school students appears to students who live in urban
areas [18].
Another issue that emerges is the well-defined preparation of future e-tutors in order to be able to
separate the way they operate in the conventional classroom from the way that is needed to work
in e-tutoring environments. At this point, investigation is required whether the constant and daily
change of the e-tutor can create problems in the quality of learning or if it is difficult for the
student to transition from one learning approach to another. In addition, because the ultimate goal
of these educational programs is the motivation students to learn and continue to learn throughout
their life, the transition from the transactional to the transformational phase is crucial [19].
Despite the short-term learning benefits that students can have (they did better on an exam, wrote
better on a test, solved an exercise faster, felt safer in the classroom) and although are particularly
important for the learner to feel confidence, what is required is his change of attitude towards
learning. To this end, opportunities for more accurate data and comprehensive evaluation can be
achieved through data mining and data analysis. Big data make possible to extract information
about student performance and learning approaches. Thus, e-tutoring systems could enhance
learning if they combined with a variety of tools and integrated into a range of student activities,
such as how much time they spend studying and how they use digital resources. In this way,
trends, resources that are most effective and problem areas can be identified and therefore up-to-
date decisions can be made. In this context, these approaches require a balance between students'
privacy and open access to their data for research and educational purposes. For this reason, e-
tutoring data is open and accessible so that students, teachers, and parents can benefit from
advances in research and analysis. The differentiated approach of each student and the adaptation
of the education to the needs of him/her can be enhanced with the e-tutoring programs.
Finally, it seems that there is a lot of room for expansion of e-tutoring in schools. Although
research shows that participation decreases with age, educational policy makers need to re-
evaluate how these programs are offered by comparing them to other, less cost-effective, and less
transformative options. In conclusion, e-tutoring programs and especially the Pierce e-tutoring
online program, is a useful service that offered to students. To this end, research on the subject
needs to be further strengthened to explore issues related to: a) the integration of Learning
Management Systems that will function as the unique system of asynchronous and synchronous
learning within the school unit, b) approaches that will enhance student participation, c) the
exploration of issues that students seek support for, in order to incorporate other methods of
student support, such as videos, artifacts, activities.

6. LIMITATIONS
The management model presented in the previous sections is an integrated approach to the
implementation of e-tutoring programs using a platform, which has specific features and
capabilities. More specifically, although Blackboard Collaborate is a reliable and functional
platform for online learning, the interaction it offers needs to be compared with other available
platforms. In addition, another limitation in the case of Pierce etutoring online program, is that
Blackboard Collaborate constitutes an additional application outside the Learning Management
System (LMS) of the school. Finally, the personal data issues that the organization needs to
manage may have a negative effect to increase the participation and to offer personal support to
specific students.
7. CONCLUSIONS
The integration of e-tutoring programs in the educational practice across the countries proves to
be possible, feasible and, perhaps, necessary, as the benefits from this integration are multiple.
The new reality with the pandemic has significantly changed the image of distance education and
it is necessary to take advantage of its positive elements. Thus, as households acquired more
technological tools, e-tutoring could work in a way that would meet the need for remedial
teaching or additional teaching support. In this context, the possibility of utilizing e-tutoring
programs in school education, for all students and schools through existing structures of the
Ministries of Education is possible. Bearing in mind the reduced cost of the program and
therefore the savings for families and the fact that many households have access to the internet it
seems possible to include such programs. In general, e-tutoring programs contribute to the
creation of a model of education which, through the alternative way of approaching and
supporting learning, manages to meet the needs of students and their families directly and
effectively.
