Abstract

The rapid integration of digital tools in education has transformed classroom environments, creating new opportunities and challenges for instructional design. One key area of focus is the management of cognitive load, which refers to the mental effort required to process information during learning. Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) offers insights into how instructional materials can be optimized to improve learning outcomes. In digital classrooms, the effective design of instructional content becomes even more critical due to the increased multimedia elements and potential for cognitive overload. This study aims to explore the implications of Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) for instructional design in digital classrooms. It examines how digital tools, such as multimedia content and interactive activities, impact learners’ cognitive load and suggests strategies for reducing extraneous cognitive load to enhance learning efficiency and effectiveness. A mixed-methods approach was used, combining quantitative surveys to assess students’ cognitive load during digital learning activities and qualitative interviews with instructors to understand their perspectives on instructional design challenges. The study was conducted across several digital learning environments in higher education. The findings indicate that digital learning environments often lead to high cognitive load, particularly when multimedia content is poorly integrated. However, using principles from CLT, such as segmenting information and reducing unnecessary complexity, can significantly lower cognitive load and improve student learning outcomes. Both students and instructors reported that well-designed digital content led to better engagement and more efficient learning. The study concludes that applying Cognitive Load Theory to instructional design in digital classrooms can enhance learning by minimizing cognitive overload. Educators should be mindful of cognitive load when creating digital learning experiences to improve student performance and engagement.

Abstract

Adolescent obesity has become a global public health crisis, demanding effective and engaging intervention strategies. While mobile health (mHealth) apps offer a scalable platform for promoting healthy lifestyles, maintaining long-term engagement among adolescents remains a significant challenge. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a gamified Health application on promoting positive changes in physical activity, dietary habits, and anthropometric measures among adolescents at risk for obesity, compared to a non-gamified version of the same application. A 12-week, quasi-experimental study was conducted with 150 adolescents (aged 13-16) with a BMI above the 85th percentile. Participants were assigned to either an intervention group (n=75) using a gamified mHealth app featuring points, badges, and leaderboards, or a control group (n=75) using a non-gamified version with identical health content. The intervention group demonstrated significantly greater increases in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (p < .01) and higher consumption of fruits and vegetables (p < .05) compared to the control group. Furthermore, the gamified app users showed a modest but statistically significant reduction in their BMI z-score (p < .05), a change not observed in the control group. App engagement metrics were also 70% higher in the intervention group. The integration of gamification elements into mHealth applications is a highly effective strategy for preventing obesity in adolescents.

Abstract

Contemporary architecture in many Islamic countries faces the dual challenge of preserving cultural identity while addressing energy efficiency and thermal comfort in harsh climatic conditions. This research explores the integration of modular construction with the timeless principles of Islamic architecture and the use of indigenous, climate-responsive materials as a sustainable solution. A prototype of a modular residential unit was designed, incorporating key Islamic architectural elements such as a central courtyard, mashrabiya (ornate lattice screens), and strategic orientation. The design utilized locally sourced materials with high thermal mass, such as rammed earth and reclaimed timber. The thermal performance was rigorously evaluated using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and dynamic thermal simulations with EnergyPlus software. The simulation results were benchmarked against a conventional modern residential unit of equivalent size. The integration of passive design strategies resulted in a 25% reduction in annual cooling loads. Indoor operative temperatures remained within the comfort zone for 60% longer than the baseline case, substantially minimizing reliance on mechanical air conditioning. The mashrabiya and courtyard proved effective in facilitating natural ventilation and reducing solar heat gain. This study validates that merging modular construction with climate-responsive local materials and Islamic architectural wisdom offers a viable path toward sustainable and culturally resonant architecture.
