Variable Performance

The use of e-learning in the learning process at Amikom Purwokerto University has been implemented since early 2019 by utilizing the ILIAS e-learning platform. The problem that arises is whether students are satisfied and intend to continue using the ILIAS platform for the online learning process during the pandemic period and afterwards where there are still many obstacles experienced by students during online lectures. This study aims to assess the behavioral intention of Amikom Purwokerto University students to use ILIAS as an online learning platform by adopting the UTAUT2 (Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2) model. Based on the results of hypothesis testing, it shows that each variable has a significant effect and has a significant impact on the use of ILIAS, this is evidenced by each hypothesis being accepted with a t-value> 1.96. Based on the t-value, the variable Performance Expectancy, Facilitating Condition and Habit is the variable with the highest t-value among the other variables, namely (PE -> BI = 16.8709), (FC -> UB = 13.4742) and (HB - > UB = 12.6896). This shows that these three variables have a high significant influence and impact on the use of ILIAS. In further research, it may be possible to consider the use of moderating variables such as age, gender, experience, and so on or add other variables such as Security and Information Quality.

RESUMO: O presente artigo descreve um estudo de caso que foi desenvolvido em uma escola pública de música do Estado de Minas Gerais. A pesquisa teve como objetivo avaliar o uso do ambiente virtual de Aprendizagem Moodle na aproximação dos pais no desenvolvimento musical de estudantes do 1º ciclo do curso de educação musical, voltado para o atendimento de crianças de 6 a 8 anos. Nesse ciclo, as crianças são introduzidas ao mundo dos estudos musicais e necessitam de todo o suporte para que se sintam confortáveis. Muitas vezes a falta de conhecimentos musicais dos pais impossibilita o apoio aos filhos, que acabam ficando desmotivados e, muitas vezes, chegam até a trancar seus cursos. Neste artigo são apresentados os resultados da pesquisa que inclui a condução de entrevistas, realização de atividades no ambiente educativo virtual e a análise de relatórios de acesso dos participantes, fornecidos pela própria plataforma EaD. Como resultado, verificou-se que essa ferramenta pode contribuir significativamente na aproximação dos pais no acompanhamento dos aprendentes em suas atividades musicais e por consequência na motivação e na aprendizagem dos estudantes. Além disso, constatamos crescimento nos indicadores de proficiência musical dos alunos por meio da avaliação de habilidades e competências específicas, bem como uma sensível redução na evasão. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: ambientes virtuais de aprendizagem; musicalização infantil; recursos tecnológicos didáticos; família e escola.   ABSTRACT: This paper describes a case study that was developed in a public music school in the state of Minas Gerais. The research aimed at assessing the use of the Moodle platform to approach parents in the musical development of students from the 1st cycle of the music education course, aimed at attending children from 6 to 8 years old. In this cycle, children are introduced to the world of music studies and need all the support to make them feel comfortable. Often, the parents' lack of musical knowledge makes it impossible to support their children, who become unmotivated and often even lock up their courses. This article presents the results of the research that includes conducting interviews, conducting activities in the virtual educational environment and analyzing access reports of participants, provided by the e-learning platform itself. As a result, it was found that this tool can contribute significantly in bringing parents closer to the learners' accompaniment in their musical activities and consequently in students’ motivation and learning. In addition, we found growth in students' musical proficiency indicators through the assessment of specific skills and competences, as well as a marked reduction in dropout. KEYWORDS: virtual learning environments; children's musicalization; didactic technological resources; family and school.

Human communication plays a vital role; without communicating, day-to-day tasks seem difficult to complete. And the world has an almost 5% population that struggles with hearing or speaking disability, which contributes to 430 million people worldwide, and this will grow up to 900million just in the next 25 to 30 years. With the increasing noise pollution, hearing capacity degrades, leading to various hearing problems. The WHO statistics show that 32million kids are acoustically impaired. With disabilities, there are multiple issues these people face, such as lack of learning facilities, job opportunities, communication platforms, etc. These people need a cooperative environment to express, learn at their pace and level of understanding. This paper focuses on developing an application that bridges the gap between these acoustically disabled people and people unknown to their way of communication. The proposed research is an edge device application provides features like a gesture to text, speech to text, e-learning platform, and Alert mechanism. This paper majorly focuses on developing a friendly all in one platform for mute and deaf community for communication, learning and emergency alerts. The research was conducted with two approaches the traditional CNN and Tensorflow lite Efficient Net model to train the ASL (American Sign Language) dataset for the communication platform, where we obtained accuracy of 98.91% and 98.82% respectively. To overcome the computational barriers of traditional CNN approach, Tensorflow lite Efficient Net model was brought into the picture. The proposed methodology would help build a platform for the deaf and mute community to express themselves better and gain wider exposure to the world.
