This courseware provides multiple learning approaches that can achieve community colleges mission to provide a systematic and integrated education and training. There are at least seven types of intelligences that human possess. Objective: The objective of this paper is to evaluate the effectiveness of learning using MI Courseware. Methodology: The methodology used is based on the ADDIE teaching model that consists of five phases. An evaluation of MI Courseware has been completed by 42 students from Kolej Komuniti Masjid Tanah. Results: The findings revealed those items related to the MI courseware contents produced good responses. The results showed that the MI Courseware can help and enhanced student’s skills in Community College. Conclusion: Overall, the perception of respondents towards the MI Courseware was encouraging.

Then, a student will get learning activities that suit their intelligence. Gamification is not an integral part of adaptive learning. However, adaptive learning using gamification can successfully organize to increase learning engagement. Methods/Statistical analysis: There are five phases involved in this study: (i) Determining Student Intelligence; (ii) Defining Learning Goal; (iii) Structuring Learner Experience; (iv) Analyze Suitable Game Elements and (v) Heutagogy Design Process. This study is designed for TVET students to collaborate, share the idea and discuss related issues to the context of the subject. This promotes critical thinking and communication skills among students. Participants involved in this study are undergraduate students from two TVET institutions in Malaysia. Findings: The findings demonstrate that students learn better and enhance students' engagement. Activities in the class used real projects as an alternative assessment. Students won several awards. Improvements/Applications: Through e-Learning competition, give students opportunities to reflect their learning in order to help them develop critical thinking skills.

Among the problems are preparing teaching materials for online learning and lack of motivation in teaching and learning using online tools. This study intends to determine whether teaching experience affect lecturers’ motivation in teaching online. The respondents consist of 149 lecturers from Jabatan Matematik dan Sains Komputer (JMSK) with different subject matter expertise. Teaching experience was assessed using a multiple choice question in demographics and the lecturer’s motivation was measured using four primary dimensions i.e., ease of use (EOU), usefulness (USE), enjoyment (E), and self-confidence (SC). In order to measure these four dimensions, measurement items were adapted from previous researchers. The Wilk’s Lambda within the Multivariate Tests shows the significance (p-value) is more than 0.05, which means that the lecturer’s motivation is not significantly affected by their prior experien...

Motivation in this treatment refers to when the lecturers feel the motivation in using online teaching tools in the classroom. Self-motivation of lecturers to change their teaching styles or methods is one of the problems stated by few researchers. The objective of this paper is to identify the factors that motivate lecturers to use online teaching tools, such as Web 2.0 tools. There are a variety of online teaching tools available to the lecturers. The popular tools are online whiteboard, WordPress, YouTube, Facebook, Edmodo and others. There are not many lecturers who apply the Internet as an alternative to provide access to information that can help to enhance teaching and learning materials. An evaluation of the lecturer's motivation had been completed by 30 lecturers from different subject matter experts. The instruments used were interview sessions and classroom observation, which were used to measure four motivation variables: ease of use, enjoyment, usefulness and self-confidence, based on the ARCS Motivation model. Based on the findings, factors that can affect lecturers' motivation in using online teaching tools are knowledge, perceptions and skills.

These teaching tools can assist lecturers to create their own teaching materials without having any knowledge of Information Technology (IT) especially in programming. The theory of MI is used in this paper and this theory postulates that everybody has at least two or more intelligences. Multiple approaches embedded into a series of activities via online teaching tools must be implemented in order to achieve effective teaching and learning in the classroom. The objectives of this paper are to identify the relationship between the students self-perceived MI and their academic achievement in Polytechnic, and design online MI tools for teaching at Polytechnic. This paper also addressed the theoretical framework and MI teaching activities. The instrument used for this study was Ujian Multiple Intelligence (UMI). The results showed Polytechnic students have strength in Interpersonal, Visual-Spatial and Verbal-Linguistic intelligences.
