How Do Visual Design Elements in Multimedia Learning Material Induce Positive Emotions in Learners?
Get PDFPrevious research into multimedia learning has mainly focused on cognitive factors to investigate different instructional conditions and design principles. Emotional aspects have so far been widely neglected. This study investigates how the cheerful emotional interface design influenced learners’ cognitive processes, emotional valences, learning outcomes, and subjective experience. This study used the PRISMA statement to identify the major themes from the literature. Following the strict inclusion and exclusion criteria for selecting records, we identified 47 articles for the analysis. This study used the VOS viewer for the themes using the content analysis and key term occurrences. The result shows two significant pieces, cognitive outcomes and affective outcomes, further divided into cognitive processes, emotional valences, learning outcomes, and subjective experience. In addition, the findings showed that learners using the cheerful emotional design had more positive emotions and higher comprehension and transfer test scores. Furthermore, learners who received the cheerful emotional design saw the materials as less challenging and expended more mental effort digesting them than learners who received the neutral design. They reported better motivation, contentment, and perception of the learning materials.

Secured Transfer and Storage Image Data for Cloud Communications
Get PDFIn cloud computing, resources are used to communicate instead of local servers or individual devices. However, sharing resources among several users is a difficult issue in cloud communication. Cryptography and steganography techniques are used for cloud storage to address data security challenges. This paper presents a novel method for securely encrypting image data for transmission and link exchange with a cloud storage service. There are two phases to accomplish the encryption process, the first phase encrypts the image file by XORing it with a random key that is generated by a new hybrid of the chaotic map. The second phase converts the encrypted image format to audio format to add another layer of security and improve secure image data transfer. The random key is generated using a hybrid chaotic map and has the benefit of having more than 10256 key spaces and the necessary level of security. Based on a statistical analysis of the encryption, the quality of the image is evaluated using several criteria, and the results demonstrate the algorithm's ability to accomplish resist encryptio
