INTERNATIONAL BORNEO INNOVATION EXHIBITION AND COMPETITION (IBIEC) 2023 44 Aplikasi eDeafCom Nurhazawani Yahya1* Shahzan Hafiz Samsudin1 and Jalleh Bin Bokiom1 1 Jabatan Matematik, Sains & Komputer, Politeknik Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia * [email protected] Abstrak Konsep pendidikan untuk semua memberi peluang kepada semua pelajar tanpa mengira umur, jantina, atau bangsa bagi mendapatkan pendidikan yang setara dengan pelajar lain. Namun, terdapat golongan pelajar berkeperluan khas, iaitu bisu pekak yang memerlukan pendekatan pengajaran dan pembelajaran yang sedikit berbeza, iaitu menggunakan bahasa isyarat sebagai medium utama. Oleh itu, eDeafCom adalah sebuah aplikasi mudah alih yang dibangunkan khas untuk pelajar-pelajar ini dalam kursus SBK1021 iaitu Aplikasi Komputer di Politeknik Kota Kinabalu. Nama eDeafCom ini terdiri daripada beberapa perkataan iaitu "e" merujuk kepada epembelajaran, "Deaf" merujuk kepada pelajar bisu pekak, dan "Comp" merujuk kepada komputer kerana aplikasi ini khusus untuk subjek SBK1021 Aplikasi Komputer. eDeafCom menggunakan konsep visual yang merangkumi video bahasa isyarat, ilustrasi, animasi, nota interaktif, dan kuiz untuk memenuhi keperluan pelajar bekeperluan khas kerana mereka lebih cenderung dengan elemen visual dalam pengajaran dan pembelajaran. Aplikasi ini dibangunkan menggunakan Kondular Apps Inventor yang menghubungkan dengan perisian Google Suite @ G-Suite, PDF serta laman sesawang Youtube dan Quizzes. Rasional inovasi ini dijalankan berdasarkan masalah penurunan hasil pembelajaran kursus CLO 1 dan CLO 3 pada sesi 1 tahun 2021/2022, di mana pelajar-pelajar ini menghadapi kesukaran dalam memahami topik 2 berkaitan dengan lembaran kerja (Microsoft Excel). Pelajar-pelajar berkeperluan khas ini juga menghadapi kesulitan dalam memahami isi kandungan pengajaran dalam waktu yang terhad. Oleh itu, aplikasi eDeafCom dapat membantu mereka dalam dan di luar kelas untuk memahami terminologi komputer dan merangsang kreativiti mereka dalam menyiapkan tugasan. Selain itu, aplikasi eDeafCom ini tidak hanya memberi kemudahan kepada pelajar, akan tetapi juga boleh digunakan oleh pensyarah sebagai medium pengajaran dan pembelajaran bagi mereka yang kurang mahir dalam bahasa isyarat. Secara keseluruhannya, respons positif dan impak yang tinggi diterima daripada pelajar berkeperluan khas terhadap aplikasi eDeafCom ini. Keywords: eDeafCom, Pelajar Berkeperluan Khas, Bahasa isyarat, Visual Abstract The concept of inclusive education aims to provide equal opportunities for all students, regardless of age, gender, or ethnicity, to receive an education comparable to that of their peers. However, there is a group of students with special needs, specifically those who are deaf and mute, who require a slightly different approach to teaching and learning. These students use sign language as their primary mode of communication. To address the unique needs of these students, a mobile application called eDeafCom was developed specifically for the SBK1021 course, Computer Applications, at Politeknik Kota Kinabalu. The name eDeafCom is derived from "e" for e-learning, "Deaf" for deaf-mute students, and "Comp" for computer, indicating its focus on computer applications. eDeafCom utilizes a visual approach, including sign


INTERNATIONAL BORNEO INNOVATION EXHIBITION AND COMPETITION (IBIEC) 2023 45 language videos, illustrations, animations, interactive notes, and quizzes, to cater to the learning preferences of students with special needs, who often benefit from visual aids. The application was developed using Kondular Apps Inventor and integrates with Google Suite, PDFs, YouTube, and Quizzes websites. This innovation was prompted by a decline in learning outcomes for CLO 1 and CLO 3 courses during the first session of 2021/2022, particularly in understanding topic 2 related to worksheets in Microsoft Excel. Students with special needs also faced challenges in grasping the teaching content within limited time frames. Therefore, eDeafCom aims to assist these students both inside and outside the classroom, helping them understand computer terminology and fostering their creativity in completing assignments. Moreover, eDeafCom is not only beneficial for students but also serves as a teaching and learning tool for lecturers who are less proficient in sign language. Overall, the application has received positive responses and has had a significant impact on students with special needs. Keywords: eDeafCom, Special Needs, Sign Language, Visual Pengenalan Bahasa isyarat merupakan bahasa dan satu cara komunikasi bagi mereka yang mempunyai masalah pendengaran (bisu dan pekak) tidak kira peringkat umur. Namun begitu, terdapat juga masyarakat Malaysia yang tidak mahir dalam penggunaan bahasa isyarat (Farah izzati, 2021) malah terdapat guru yang mempunyai kesukaran berkomunikasi dan mengajar kerana kurangnya bahan bantu mengajar di dalam kelas. Selain itu, menurut (Nor shahida baharudin, 2023) kurangnya bahan bantu mengajar menyebabkan guru cenderung menggunakan strategi pengajaran secara konvensional iaitu “chalk and talk”. Dalam perkara ini, kaedah pengajaran guru turut mempengaruhi pemahaman murid dalam memahami mata pelajaran Pendidikan Islam dengan mudah. Dalam sesi temubual yang dijalankan, para guru masih cenderung menggunakan strategi pengajaran konvensional dalam PdPc mereka. Banyak kajian turut menunjukkan bahawa terdapat guru-guru Pendidikan Islam yang gemar mengamalkan PdPc secara tradisional, Oleh yang demikian, pelbagai usaha yang perlu dijalankan bagi menjadikan pengajaran dan pembelajaran Pendidikan khas sejajar dengan perkembangan teknologi terkini. Sehubungan dengan itu, dalam kajian ini menggunakan aplikasi mudah alih untuk membantu pelajar-pelajar khas ini serta pensyarah dalam pengajaran dan pembelajaran. Permasalahan Kajian Dalam satu kajian yang dijalankan (Halizah Ahmad, 2018) masalah utama dalam kalangan pelajar pekak bisu ini adalah kurangnya tumpuan dan minat terhadap pembelajaran secara konvensional yang mana hanya menggunakan cara menulis dalam buku serta di papan sahaja. Pengajaran secara konvensional ini mampu menyebabkan pelajar mudah bosan dan hilang tumpuan semasa pembelajaran dan pengajaran dalam kelas (Muhammad sofwan, 2021). Tambahan pula, menjadi kesukaran bagi pensyarah yang tidak mampu untuk berbahasa isyarat dengan mereka ini dengan hanya menulis di papan tulis sahaja. Oleh yang demikian, dengan penggunaan teknologi moden sperti tablet dan telefon pintar mampu membantu pelajar-pelajar ini melaksanakan pembelajaran dengan sangat mudah kerana menurut (Norshila roslin, 2021) penggunaan Mobile Learning sebagai bahan bantu pengajaran dalam kelas lebih efektif seterusnya meningkatkan kemahiran guru dalam penggunaan teknologi maklumat. Dalam pembelajaran dan pengajaran Pendidikan khas ini, teknologi maklumat sangat penting dalam


INTERNATIONAL BORNEO INNOVATION EXHIBITION AND COMPETITION (IBIEC) 2023 46 penyampaian maklumat secara terus serta memberikan impak yang lebih positif kepada perkembangan pelajar-pelajar ini kerana mereka ini mempunyai kognitif yang rendah malah mempunyai perkembangan social yang tidak normal dari segi penguasaan Bahasa lisan dan sebagainya. Masalah ini juga dapat dilihat jadual 1 berikutan daripada penurunan Course learning Outcome bagi Clo 1, Clo 2 dan Clo 3 semasa semester sesi 1: 2021/2022 dan sesi 2: 2021/2022. Pelbagai inisiatif telah dijalankan kepada pelajar-pelajar khas pekak bisu ini akan tetapi status pencapaian masih tidak mempunyai sebarang perubahan. Oleh yang demikian kajian ini adalah untuk membangunkan aplikasi eDeafcom untuk membantu memudahkan pelajar-pelajar khas pekak bisu dalam proses pengajaran dan pembelajaran. Selain itu juga, aplikasi eDeafCom ini sebagai bahan bantu mengajar kerana ianya dapat membantu pensyarah yang kurang mahir berbahasa isyarat khususnya dalam bidang aplikasi komputer ini.

INTERNATIONAL BORNEO INNOVATION EXHIBITION AND COMPETITION (IBIEC) 2023 59 ProKAPSS Nurmawati binti Bohari1*, Ting Ee Lee1 and Norliza binti Borhan1 1 Kolej Komuniti Sarikei, Sarawak, Malaysia * Nurmawati binti Bohari Abstract Promotion stands as a key marketing strategy for colleges, serving to introduce their course offerings to the public. At both Sarikei Community College (KKSR) and its Sibu Branch (KKSRCS), responsibility for promotions lies jointly with the Promotion Unit members and all lecturers. Despite this, a significant issue arose as colleges had not developed promotional materials aligned with their promotional campaigns. This gap posed a challenge for lecturers, impeding their ability to effectively carry out promotions due to the lack of necessary materials. In response to this challenge, the innovative ProKAPSS promotion kit application was created. It addresses the issue by preventing information delivery gaps during promotional activities. The concept for ProKAPSS emerged when the Promotion Unit identified the need for a centralized platform to collect and coordinate all promotional materials. Functioning as an application with Google Drive as its database, ProKAPSS is application in Android Package Kit (APK) file that can be accessed via QR code. This technological advancement empowers lecturers by providing easy access to promotional materials, reducing preparation time, and enhancing information delivery during promotions. Simultaneously, it grants the public unrestricted access to college information, overcoming temporal and spatial limitations. The adoption of ProKAPSS has proven to be a transformative innovation, significantly influencing the positive management of promotions within colleges, fostering efficiency, and effectiveness. Keywords: promotion, kit, application Introduction Promotion involves taking action to establish connections between educational institutions and the community (Surapati et al., 2020). This includes the creation and provision of educational services by schools to ensure customer satisfaction through the activities they offer (Rahmawati & Trihantoyo, 2021). In the context of community colleges, effective promotion becomes a pivotal method to acquaint the public with these institutions. Without such promotion, the community might remain unaware of the presence of community colleges in Sarikei and Sibu. Therefore, it is crucial to generate and coordinate precise information about community colleges, specifically focusing on Sarikei Community College (KKSR) and its Sibu branch (KKSRCS), to facilitate the promotional efforts of exhibitors or individuals engaged in promotion. Consequently, ProKAPSS is established to streamline college promotion and alleviate the challenges faced by exhibitors without promotional materials. This app serves as an easily accessible platform for obtaining information related to the promotion materials of KKSR and


INTERNATIONAL BORNEO INNOVATION EXHIBITION AND COMPETITION (IBIEC) 2023 60 KKSRCS, making promotion management more efficient. Users will have access to all necessary promotional materials, and the user-friendly technology allows them to obtain information online or print materials according to their convenience. This integrated approach ensures a smoother and more cohesive process in promoting community colleges. Objectives In an era marked by technological progress, higher learning institutions increasingly rely on digital marketing as a pivotal means to forge connections and interact with prospective students. It is widely acknowledged that digital marketing plays a vital role in attracting students to enroll in academic programmes (Labausa et al., 2023). In light of the prevailing trend in digital marketing, the Promotion unit has taken steps to create ProKAPSS, a mobile application designed to deliver information and connect with potential students to engage them effectively. The creation of ProKAPSS is driven by a set of objectives aimed at improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the college's promotional activities. Firstly, ProKAPSS seeks to provide the college with a steady supply of appropriate and up-todate promotional materials. This objective ensures that the promotional endeavors of the college are well-equipped with relevant and timely information, thereby enhancing their impact. Additionally, ProKAPSS is designed to assist lecturers by facilitating the preparation and seamless delivery of information during promotional activities. This objective aims to empower educators, ensuring they have the necessary tools to effectively communicate key details about the college to various audiences. Furthermore, ProKAPSS aims to streamline the coordination and updating of promotional materials through a centralized platform managed by the Promotion Unit. This objective is geared towards overcoming the existing challenges of scattered and limited promotional resources. By consolidating these materials in one accessible location, ProKAPSS ensures consistency and ease of management for the Promotion Unit. Lastly, the creation of ProKAPSS is driven by the objective to provide the public with easy access to college-related information. This user-friendly approach serves to bridge the gap between the college and the community, fostering transparency and accessibility for anyone seeking information about the institution. Problem Statements KKSR and KKSRCS are grappling with a lack of standardized promotional materials, a critical issue that hampers the effective promotion of the institutions. Currently, there are limited and insufficient promotional materials available, exacerbating the challenges faced by promoters in conveying essential information about KKSR and KKSRCS. The absence of standardized materials makes each promotion activity a time-consuming endeavour, as promoters must produce tailored materials, increasing the likelihood of missing important information during these activities. In response to this situation, a crucial step for the Promotion Unit of KKSR would be to address the issue of standardized promotional materials. An innovative solution lies in the introduction of a promotion kit application - ProKAPSS for KKSR and KKSRCS. This application aims to alleviate the challenges faced by promoters by providing a centralized and standardized set of digital materials. Furthermore, the experts' feasibility test suggests that employing a strategy model incorporating digital marketing for promotional efforts during the PPDB at SMK


INTERNATIONAL BORNEO INNOVATION EXHIBITION AND COMPETITION (IBIEC) 2023 61 Muhammadiyah Lumajang for the academic year 2023-2024 is very likely to be successful. That’s why the Promotion Unit of KKSR has come up with the idea of creating a mobile application for digital marketing (Mayasari et al., 2024). Promoters from both KKSR and KKSRCS can efficiently access the latest details about KKSR and KKSRCS through ProKAPSS, an Android Package Kit (APK) file functioning as an application with Google Drive as its database, enabling seamless file storage, synchronization, and sharing (Ujjainkar, 2022). This approach not only mitigates the time-consuming nature of creating materials for each promotion activity but also reduces the likelihood of missing important information during promotions, ensuring that the conveyed information remains accurate and relevant. Uses and Applications ProKAPSS is a user-friendly Android application, developed using MIT App Inventor 2, that allows individuals to effortlessly explore and access pertinent details about the college. Users can conveniently download the app by scanning a QR code or using an embedded link on their mobile phones, and once installed, they can directly access the information they need. ProKAPSS ensures a seamless experience, making it easy for users to navigate and obtain relevant information about the colleges. Download Application During promotions, the exhibitors will show the public how to download ProKAPSS by displaying the QR code and the embedded link. (Refer Figure 1) Figure 1: Download using QR code or using the embedded link Welcome Screen The welcome screen is the first page of the app that shows pictures and logos of KKSR and KKSRCS.

Problem Statement In this algorithm epoch of corporate and organizational world, effectively managing papers is a huge undertaking. The changing needs of contemporary businesses or industries are frequently not adequately met by conventional document management systems. These difficulties consist of but are not restricted to information overload. Due to the rapid expansion of digital content, businesses or industries are finding it increasingly difficult to efficiently store, retrieve, and manage enormous volumes of paper records. Thus, fragmented platforms in which many establishments or institutions store their documents on several platforms, causes inefficiencies, effort duplication, and collaboration issues. Documents in conventional systems could not have strong security safeguards, making them open to hacking or illegal access too. In addition, security concerns are crucial to guarantee the availability, confidentiality, and integrity of important documents. When conventional documents are created collaboratively, they frequently end up in many versions and not trace efficiently, which can lead to confusion and probable mistakes. It's possible that the reports or documents in place are inefficient or laborious. Mobility and accessibility of documents by the Examination officers in Sarawak needs to be access easily as Sarawak is the largest state in Malaysia. Documents previously was shared through hardcopy, email, or even through communication applications such as Telegram in which lack organisation, storage, inability to handle mobile or remote access features well enough. Meticulous document management procedures are required to comply with auditspecific legislation and compliance requirements. Conventional systems, however, could not provide the functionality needed to guarantee compliance or expedite the auditing procedure. Scalability of document management requirements rise dramatically with the size of students in institutions such as Sarawak Community Colleges. Pen and Paper or Conventional systems could find it difficult to grow effectively, which could result in operational inefficiencies and


INTERNATIONAL BORNEO INNOVATION EXHIBITION AND COMPETITION (IBIEC) 2023 72 performance bottlenecks. Therefore, Smart Exam: A Cloud-Based Platform for Document Management was developed and design inclusively to ensures regulatory compliance while providing strong functionality, scalability, security, and user-friendly interfaces.

INTERNATIONAL BORNEO INNOVATION EXHIBITION AND COMPETITION (IBIEC) 2023 85 IoT-Based Smart Rack Monitoring System Suzi Seroja Sarnin1*, Mohd Rizal Dohad1 , Mohd Nor Md Tan1 and Wan Norsyafizan W Muhamad1 1 School of Electrical Engineering, College of Engineering, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Malaysia *[email protected] Abstract Real-time monitoring system is essential in inventory management to ensure accurate stock levels and prevent issues like stockouts and misplaced item on the rack. These issues give huge impact on the retailer reputation, lower profitability, and cause consumer unhappiness. The smart rack system is introduced to monitor the stockouts and misplaced item on the racks and identify any discrepancies and notify retailer, allowing them to promptly take immediate actions. Arduino Uno is utilized as a microcontroller, working in conjunction with a weight sensor to measure the weight of items on the rack. The Arduino Uno is responsible for processing the data from the sensor and transmitting it to the Blynk application through NodeMCU microcontroller and displays it to the retailers, allowing them to monitor the inventory status in real-time. This system improves operational efficiency and enhances the customer experience, indirectly contributes to higher customer satisfaction, increased loyalty, and a positive brand image. The proposed system has the opportunities to generate additional revenue streams which include offering maintenance and support services, providing data analytics and consulting services, or integrating the system with other retail management solutions. These value-added services can contribute to the overall profitability of the smart rack monitoring system. Keywords: Smart Shelf, Stockout, Misplaced item, Arduino Uno, NodeMCU. Introduction In 2018, there were an estimated 22 billion Internet of Things (IoT) devices in use worldwide, according to [17]. According to predictions by Cisco [5] and Texas Instruments [16], the amount is predicted to decrease in 2020 as a result of the economic downturn brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic, but it will increase in 2021 and reach 50 billion by 2030. The Internet of Things is forecasted to revolutionise how people live, work, and play with an approximately threefold rise in its growth. IoT is the term used to describe a vast network of gadgets that have embedded technology that enables them to connect and communicate with other gadgets and people remotely and in real time through the internet [19][20]. Although there is not even a single, official definition of the Internet of Things, several standards organisations have offered definitions of the word. "The aim is that IoT would connect items around us (electronic, electrical, non-electrical) to allow seamless communication and contextual services given by them," the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) claimed in [15]. The situation of running out-of-stock or lack-of-stock of goods on the


INTERNATIONAL BORNEO INNOVATION EXHIBITION AND COMPETITION (IBIEC) 2023 86 shelves can result in the dissatisfaction of buyers and indirectly affect the reputation of a retailer or supermarket [1][4][5]. Retailer staff frequently contribute to this problem by failing to anticipate when they will run out of stock on the shelves or by being unable to add more stocks. According to Zebra Technologies' 13th annual Global Shopper Survey [2], 75 percent of millennial customers and 53 percent of Gen X shoppers would leave a store without making a purchase due to OOS and instead purchase the item online. Following a survey of over 4800 shoppers and 1500 retail professionals from around the world, Zebra Technologies discovered that both retailers and shoppers are disappointed by OOS situations, with 43 percent of retail associates identifying it as the leading cause of customer frustration, and 39 percent of shoppers leaving the store without making a purchase as a result of the issue. According to [6]-[9], buyers will feel frustrated when the desired items run out of stock especially the highly preferred items and the buyer will leave the store and go to another store. This indirectly, the shopkeeper will lose customers and suffer losses. According to a Panasonic poll, 31% of customers buy from other stores when products go out of stock. According to a 2018 IHL analysis, shoppers encounter OOS on one out of every three shopping journeys, resulting in a $1 trillion loss in revenue for businesses [1]. Additional inventory and in-store labour are both viable choices, but they are both pricey and may not entirely address the issues. Improving the way on-shelf availability is evaluated and controlled in the retail industry is a less expensive approach [10][11]. With OOS as the primary objective, a number of methods have been presented to address the issue. Aside from the out-of-stock problem that most retailers experience, another issue that less responsible customer frequently encounter is taking stuff from one shelf and placing them on another shelf that they eventually decide not to buy. Former supermarket assistant Joanne Archer of Expert Home Tips told Insider that it really irritates staff when customers leave items strewn about the store [3]. Methodology The Smart Shelf Monitoring System is made up of two parts: hardware and software [12]- [14][18]. The hardware refers to the shelf as well as its various components, such as weight sensors, the Arduino Uno board, the liquid crystal display (LCD), light emitting diode (LED), buzzer and the NodeMCU Module. Software, on the other hand, refers to the intelligent system that will visualise, analyse, and act on sensor data. They work together to ensure that the Smart Shelf Monitoring System functions properly and accurately measures the weight of the load as shown in the block diagram in Figure 1.


INTERNATIONAL BORNEO INNOVATION EXHIBITION AND COMPETITION (IBIEC) 2023 87 Figure 1: Block diagram of the Smart Shelf Monitoring System The weight sensor acts as an input which detects the quantity of items on the shelf. The information obtained will be sent to the Arduino Uno board. At this stage, the Arduino Uno that receives the information from the weight sensor will be processed based on the specified and programmed resolution. All information that has been processed will be sent to two parts of the output. At output 1, the number of recent items on the shelf will be displayed on the LCD. WiFi system connection is not required on output 1. For output 2, the NodeMCU Module is required to activate Wi-Fi to send the processed information to the smartphone device. The complete circuit diagram for the Smart Shelf Monitoring System is shown in Figure 2. Figure 2: Circuit diagram of the Smart Shelf Monitoring System Table 1 lists the names and functions of each component based on Figure 2 used in completing of the Smart Shelf Monitoring System.

The strain gauges are resistors that change their resistance when they are bent. When the metal part bends, the resistance of the load cell change (the HX711 measures this small change in resistance accurately) (B) XFW-HX711 Amplifier HX711 on breakout board – The microchip is specially made for amplifying the signals from load cells and plug into this board and the board tells the Arduino UNO what the load cells measure. (C) NodeMCU Module NodeMCU Module is required to activate Wi-Fi to send the processed information to the smartphone device. (D) Arduino UNO The Arduino UNO microcontrollers and NodeMCU Modules are the main are the main controller that host the cloud server and perform the necessary actions. (E) LCD The LCD intended to display the current state of the shelf whether the stock is full, depleted or out-of-stock (F) LED The LED is intended to display a signal by flashing when stocks have run out or are out-of-stock (G) Buzzer The buzzer is intended to emit a sound signal when the stock has run out or run out-of-stock Figure 3 presents the complete hardware implementation of the Arduino Uno board, NodeMCU Module, XFW-HX711 Amplifier, LCD, LED and buzzer. The 5kg Weight Sensor is attached to a breadboard via XFW-HX711 Amplifier and the wires are used to connect them from the breadboard to the Arduino Uno board pins. The breadboard allows power (voltage) to flow through from the laptop to the Arduino Uno and to the weight sensor. The weight sensor can detect the object by displaying result at the LCD. Figure 3: Hardware implementation of the Smart Shelf Monitoring System Figure 4 shows a flowchart for the Smart Shelf Monitoring System. This flowchart describes in detail the process flow for both situations, namely managing shortages and running out of stock on the shelf and detecting the presence of other items other than the items specified on the shelf (misplaced items).

The weight of one can of this Yeo’s brand drink is 307 grams. Therefore, the total weight of the number of beverage cans on the shelf can be calculated based on equation (1). So that, the net weight of 12 cans of Yeo’s brand beverage is 3684 grams. ℎ ℎ ℎ = 307 × (1) Where; = ℎ 307 = ℎ Taking into account that there will be a slight difference in weight due to error factors during the manufacturing process on each beverage cans, a margin of ±10 grams is set for each can, then the weight of one can is estimated between 297 grams to 317 grams. This can be expressed based on equation (2). ℎ = (307 ± 10) (2) Where; = ℎ 307 = ℎ 10 = ℎ For situations when stranger items are on the shelf along with beverage cans, we have focused on two important cases.
