In higher education, the teaching staff supports the acceptance of AHRs as a social assistance tool during the learning activities, with the whole responsibility of the correct operation of the device and providing a more comprehensive view of the objectives and significance of AHR use. On the other hand, students deal with AHRs either as a friend or control figures as a teacher. This paper presents an algorithm for AHRs in oral assessments. The proposed algorithm focuses on four characteristics: adaptive occurrence, friendly existence, persuasion, and external appearance. This paper integrates AHRs in higher education to improve the value of psychological and social communication during oral assessment where can assist students in dealing with challenges, such as shyness, dissatisfaction, hesitation, and confidence, better than a human teacher can. Thus, AHRs have increased students' selfconfidence and enriches active learning.

Gamification is very important because it helps students to represent their study contents and enrich their experiences of higher education when learning in-person is unavailable during the Covid-19 period. This study seeks to present an Android-based gamification app to evaluate the effect of using gamification and e-quizzes on college students' learning. We used the visual blocks language from the MIT App Inventor platform to develop an application, available at (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=appinventor.ai_mekomerofofo. projectGamification). The participants were students from level 2 who used digital lessons for learning MATLAB. The study included gamified learning and non-gamified learning, both integrated into lesson plans, to investigate the differences in learners' performance. Two types of quizzes were used for instruction: gamified e-quizzes and paper-based quizzes. The outcomes plainly showed that using the new gamified e-quiz was more effective than using paper-based quizzes. They are better for assessing the learning performance of the students in question, specifically in terms of formative assessment. It is very important for instructors to apply games as a modern and innovation-oriented tool through which students can be engaged in an attractive, competitive experience.

Online machine learning is developing day by day. Many systems have been completely modified thanks to this development to help achieve more correct results. The Internet of Things allows us to develop a system that is able to operate without human intervention. In other words, the Internet of Things is a technology that has the ability to transmit data on the Internet without humancomputer cooperation. The Internet of Things is used in different ways in most regions. This study aims to develop an automated attendance management system where attendance is recorded via mobile devices and the student's presence is limited to a specific place based on a specific network. Recent advances in wireless technologies have led to the development and growth of smart systems in everyday life. Nowadays, the Wi-Fi localization mechanism can cover a specific area so that any user connected to the Wi-Fi station can be recognized. We developed the design and implementation of class attendance monitoring system through Wi-Fi signal. The developed software system will be able to store, retrieve and deliver student information, such as attendance or absence, through a mobile device with server knowledge.

The font style is changed according to several criteria such as human skills, age, and culture. So, till now there is no such a system with sufficient accuracy. In the current paper, a new approach is introduced based on Moth-flame optimization (MFO) for AHLR, called (MFO-AHLR). The main goal of the proposed approach is to improve the accuracy of AHLR with a least number of features. MFO-AHLR consists of the following phases: pre-processing (including binarization and noise removal), feature extraction (including several kinds of features) and classification (which are kNN, RF, and LDA in this work). Between feature selection and classification, we adopt MFO as a feature selector. A benchmark dataset for Arabic handwritten letter images (CENPARMI) was used. The achieved results showed superior results for the selected features in all experiments. Also, for all classifiers, the selected feature sets outperformed the non-selected features; and the processing time was improved. The MFO-AHLR achieved 99.25% of classification accuracy which is the highest among the other published works. To the best of our knowledge, there is no AHLR achieved it.
