These hybrid courses usually demand collaborative teaching to ensure high expertise of educators to provide for requirements of different disciplines. The Bachelor of Information Technology and the Bachelor of Electrical and Electronic Engineering are two disciplines with close bonds between hardware and software. The course design, implementation and evaluation should be reported to reflect good practice from collaborative teaching in an interdisciplinary environment. PURPOSE The study details the process of designing and implementing an interdisciplinary collaborative teaching in Project Based Learning (PBL) approach, and reflects on its benefits and drawbacks for both educators and students. APPROACH A reflection was done on the teaching practice for course alignment, preparation and delivery based on teaching journals. As for students' evaluation of the course, a post-course survey and focus group interviews were conducted. Also, an analysis of the results of students' learning outcomes (acquired course learning objectives, students' perception of the course, and their product showcase) was carried out to present the advantages and disadvantages of the course. RESULTS The alignment of course learning outcomes, course structure, and assessment were demonstrated. The findings showed that students succeeded in achieving the course objectives and felt positive about the course as a whole. Although, students' interviews revealed some drawbacks of the collaboration, it did not significantly impact the students' learning. Besides, the collaboration of lecturers was generally a success, but still recommendations were given for the improvement of the course delivery. CONCLUSIONS As regards the course design and delivery, more attention is needed in aligning and communicating to students about learning outcomes and assessment of different disciplines. As for the course benefits, authentic project work was facilitated with interdisciplinary group formation encouraging more engagement and self-learning among students.

Project-based learning (PBL) is one of them where students work collaboratively as a team on a project and while the educator's position is switch from the center of attention to being a facilitator guiding students' learning. Project based learning is a well-suited approach to actively engage students with real world problems and challenges in order to acquire deeper understand. This approach has already shown good results in western country education systems but no application have been conducted in Confucian Heritage Countries (CHC). CHC students, and Vietnamese in particular, are more familiar with traditional learning approach where most class time is spent with the teacher lecturing and the students listen passively. There are many challenges for CHC students to adapt to student-centered teaching and the time needed to transition limits the benefits they acquire from such approach especially PBL. Thus, the transition process is critical for these students and specific arrangement have to be done by educators in CHC countries. In particular, emphasis has to be made on collaborative learning activities. This paper investigates how to introduce project-based learning environment to CHC students with a first application in Vietnam. Despite challenges in the early weeks of their studies, the preliminary results suggest that the PBL approach is well adaptable to CHC students and Vietnamese student were able to integrate its principles effectively.

More than 50% of Vietnamese Internet users are participating in Online Social Network (OSN). This research will investigate the awareness and impact of Vietnamese security concerns in using OSNs by testing Vietnamese users’ intention to use OSN sites and its relationship to users’ concerns on privacy, trust and security. Using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), the findings revealed that ‘privacy’ correlates with ‘security’ but these two variables do not have a significant impact on users’ trust. Moreover, only ‘trust’ and ‘security’ affect users’ intention to use OSN.

More than 50% of ASEAN users are participating to online social network (OSN). This research is to investigate the awareness and influence of security and privacy issues on internets users’ trust, and building a safer OSN landscape in South East Asian region by examining the relationships among online privacy concerns, security, trust, and intention. Using structural equation modelling, the findings shows that ‘privacy’ correlates with ‘security’ but these two variables do not have significant impact on users’ trust. Moreover, only ‘trust’ and ‘security’ affect users’ intention to use OSN.
