Traditional teaching methods often fall short in addressing the evolving needs of today’s learners, particularly in areas that require hands-on experience and dynamic engagement. In response to this challenge, this applied research paper introduces a comprehensive mobile learning platform specifically designed to improve the delivery and effectiveness of network education. The proposed platform leverages modern educational technology by integrating interactive digital learning modules, real-time assessment tools, rich multimedia content, and a built-in intelligent Chat Box AI that provides instant support and guidance to learners. These components are strategically combined to create a more immersive, flexible, and personalized learning experience. To evaluate the platform's effectiveness, a quantitative pilot study was conducted involving a group of community college students. The study utilized Google Forms to administer pre- and post-intervention surveys, enabling the measurement of changes in students’ technical skills, knowledge retention, and overall engagement levels. The results of the study indicate a marked improvement in both technical competency and learner motivation after using the platform. These findings underscore the transformative potential of digital tools in technical education and suggest that mobile-based, AI-assisted learning environments can play a crucial role in shaping the future of network education.</p> 2025-04-18T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 BITARA International Journal of Civilizational Studies and Human Sciences (e-ISSN: 2600-9080) https://mail.bitarajournal.com/index.php/bitarajournal/article/view/655 Enhancing Construction Project Outcomes Through Risk Management: A Comprehensive Study of Practices, Challenges, and Impacts 2025-04-22T08:44:39+00:00 Hamad Saleh Mofleh Ali Alshehhi H.S.Alshehhi@outlook.com Roziah Sidik @ Mat Sidek roziah@ukm.edu.my Ermy Azziaty Rozali ermy@ukm.edu.my <p>Construction risks create uncertainties that endanger costs, schedules, and product quality; thus, risk management becomes essential for delivering projects safely. Risk management processes have spread widely, but such practices are untouched in the UAE and Middle Eastern countries. The research studies how identification, together with evaluation and response and monitoring functions of risk management, affects construction project results. Through registered construction firm surveys combined with interviews of industry professionals, the research gathers quantitative and qualitative findings. The research establishes a robust positive relationship between extensive risk management practices and best performance outcomes in project cost and time schedules as well as quality standards. The identification of two main obstacles exists in the lack of clear theoretical backing for emergent project management strategies as well as insufficient project management certification. The research calls for framework development along with tool institutionalization to train personnel effectively for better risk management practices. The findings present specific advice for project managers and public authorities to enhance delivery quality in unsteady and shifting conditions.</p> 2025-04-22T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 BITARA International Journal of Civilizational Studies and Human Sciences (e-ISSN: 2600-9080)
