Abstract

Background. The integrity and equity of assessment in hybrid learning environments have been increasingly challenged by issues of transparency, bias, and centralized control. Traditional peer review systems often lack traceability and accountability, leading to concerns about the fairness and credibility of formative feedback. Purpose. This study explores the application of blockchain technology as a decentralized infrastructure for peer review and e-assessment in hybrid learning contexts. The research aims to evaluate how blockchain-based systems can enhance feedback transparency, reviewer accountability, and student trust in digital assessment processes. Method. Employing a design-based research methodology, a prototype blockchain-enabled peer assessment platform was developed and tested with 92 university students across two hybrid courses. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected through platform analytics, student surveys, and focus group discussions. Results. The results demonstrate that blockchain-based systems can serve not only as secure ledgers but also as ethical architectures for equitable formative assessmentConclusion. The study concludes that blockchain offers a viable mechanism for building equitable, transparent, and tamper-resistant assessment systems in hybrid learning. The research contributes to the growing field of educational technology by introducing a scalable model for decentralized e-assessment.

Abstract

The widespread adoption of Islamic prayer applications has introduced new forms of digital piety in which acts of worship become increasingly structured, quantified, and mediated through mobile technologies. The rise of these apps reflects broader cultural shifts toward datafication, self-tracking, and algorithmically guided religious practice. While prayer apps offer convenience, reminders, and personalized worship analytics, concerns have emerged regarding overreliance on digital tools, potential erosion of spiritual intentionality, and the implications of data extraction for user privacy. These dynamics highlight the need to critically examine how quantified self technologies shape Muslim devotional life. This study aims to analyze the influence of Islamic prayer apps on daily worship by investigating how datafication, algorithmic nudges, and quantified worship metrics affect users’ spiritual habits and perceptions of religious discipline. The research seeks to explore both the empowering and constraining effects of digital piety on contemporary Muslim practice. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining a quantitative survey of 268 Muslim prayer app users with qualitative interviews involving twenty participants who regularly engage with worship-tracking features. Document analysis of popular prayer apps was also conducted to examine interface design, tracking mechanisms, and data-collection practices. Findings reveal that prayer apps significantly increase worship consistency, particularly in maintaining prayer schedules and tracking missed prayers. However, the quantification of worship introduces psychological dependence on reminders and metrics, shifting spiritual motivation from intrinsic intentionality to external digital cues. The study concludes that while prayer apps enhance ritual discipline, they also reshape devotional experiences through datafication, necessitating ethical reflection on privacy, autonomy, and the meaning of worship in a digital age.

Abstract

Digital governance has become a central strategy in contemporary public administration, driven by rapid technological advancements and increasing demands for efficient, transparent, and citizen-centered services. The integration of digital technologies promises to transform public service delivery; however, the extent to which these transformations result in meaningful innovation remains contested. The study aims to examine how digital governance influences public service innovation and to identify the institutional and organizational challenges that shape its effectiveness. A mixed-methods research design was employed, combining survey data from 120 public sector professionals with qualitative analysis of interviews and policy documents. Quantitative analysis was conducted using descriptive and inferential statistics, while qualitative data were analyzed through thematic coding to capture contextual dynamics. The findings reveal that digital governance significantly improves operational efficiency but has limited impact on citizen engagement and participatory outcomes. Evidence indicates that organizational capacity, leadership, and institutional culture play critical roles in mediating innovation processes, often constraining the transformative potential of digital technologies. The study concludes that digital governance should be understood as a socio-technical process requiring alignment between technology, institutions, and citizen needs, offering important implications for policy development and administrative reform.
