PhD Research Study

MPM Model: Cross-Platform MOOC Performance Measurement Model

Wansazli Nasaruddin | University of Southampton

The MPM (MOOC Performance Measurement) Model is a comprehensive framework designed to measure course and learner performance across cross-platform Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) environments. The model introduces Consideration Factor indicators across five key performance areas, providing actionable insights for continuous improvement. Currently tested and validated on FutureLearn and OpenLearning MOOC platforms, the MPM Model offers institutions a robust methodology for understanding and optimizing MOOC effectiveness.

MMCD Framework & Methodology: Multimedia Mobile Content Development Framework

Wansazli Nasaruddin | Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM)

The MMCD (Multimedia Mobile Content Development) Framework and Methodology provides a systematic approach for developing robust mobile learning (m-learning) applications. The framework encompasses five core development stages: (1) application idea creation, (2) structure analysis, (3) process design, (4) main function development, and (5) testing. The MMCD component architecture manages navigation, content management, application logic, and database operations, enabling developers to accelerate development while ensuring consistent application performance. This framework has been successfully applied in multiple m-learning projects and published in peer-reviewed journals.

Interactive Hologram Research Group

The Interactive Hologram (iHO) is a special interest research group based at the Faculty of Information & Communication Technology (FTMK), UTeM, focused on leveraging holographic technology and artificial intelligence for medical education and healthcare delivery. The research initiative encompasses two main phases: (1) design and development of an interactive hologram system for eye retina diagnosis learning, enabling medical students and professionals to understand retinal pathology through immersive visualization, and (2) development of an AI and machine learning-based diabetic retinopathy diagnosis system utilizing advanced image processing techniques for automated detection and classification of retinal abnormalities, integrated with appointment management functionality. The latter phase was developed under postgraduate supervision and collaboration with Hospital Besar Melaka, providing ophthalmologists with a comprehensive AI-assisted diagnostic and scheduling tool for patient management.

Key Research Components:

  • Interactive Hologram Technology: Design and development of immersive holographic visualization for eye retina anatomy and pathology learning
  • AI & Machine Learning Image Processing: Advanced image processing algorithms and deep learning models for automated detection, segmentation, and classification of retinal pathologies including diabetic retinopathy stages
  • Diabetic Retinopathy Diagnosis System: AI-assisted diagnostic platform leveraging computer vision and machine learning for detecting and classifying diabetic retinopathy severity stages from fundus images
  • Clinical Appointment System: Integrated scheduling and management system for Hospital Besar Melaka ophthalmology department with AI diagnosis integration
  • Postgraduate Research Supervision: Guided development of the diagnosis system with focus on clinical validation, real-world healthcare integration, and machine learning model optimization
