The document discusses two studies. The first examines the effects of integrating mobile and CAD technology on the design process of Malaysian polytechnic architecture students. It studies how students find design information and the impact of mobile/CAD integration on design synthesis and simulation activities. The second study identifies challenges instructional designers face creating learning objects and evaluates a learning object's effectiveness.

3. Methodology: This study utilized a quasi-experimental method. Study Sample: Final semester students of four (4) polytechnics are chosen as a research sample where sixty (60) students are in the treatment group and another sixty (60) students are in the control group. Final product is evaluated by an expert in architecture field using the validated instrument developed by researcher.

6. A Study of the Design and Evaluation of a Learning Object and Implications for Content Development The purpose of this study was to identify the challenges and issues that instructional designers face when designing learning objects and to evaluate the effectiveness of a learning object. The purpose of this study was to identify the challenges and issues that instructional designers face when designing learning objects and to evaluate the effectiveness of a learning object. Instruments Faculty were asked to assess the learning object in the following areas using a five point rating scale ranging from low to high and to provide a rationale for their score: 1- Content Quality: Veracity, accuracy, balanced presentation of ideas, and appropriate level of detail. 2- Presentation Design: Design of visual and auditory information for enhanced learning and efficient mental processing. 3- Reusability : Ability to port between different courses or learning contexts without modification.
