Biography: Dr. McKee is the President of World Didac Association (the largest international education industry association) and is the President and Founder of Labtech International, which addresses the needs of technology education around the world. Founded in 1985, Labtech is perhaps the oldest and certainly one of the largest technical education companies based in Asia. It is renowned for its educational innovation and has thousands of schools as clients in over 80 countries. Labtech’s latest work is in pioneering the intersection of digital learning and 21st century skills with Vocational Technical Education. This area has a great potential to improve the dynamics of teaching and learning for skills as well as reducing the cost of TVET education around the world by virtualizing part of the learning process. He has published many articles on 21st century Learning, teaching and innovation in various academic and educational publications. Labtech is an appointed collaboration partner for ISTE in S.E. Asia and he is also an advisor to several governments on implementation of new ICT programs.
Abstract: The Future of work and jobs are changing fast as industry deploys more sophisticated manufacturing technology. We shall explore the ways that TVET can respond to these challenges. How we can infuse technology to learning process and make it more relevant and to achieve better training results at substantially lower costs. Virtual TVET digital learning technologies are being developed with 3D animated simulations, VR and AR applications which can increase student understanding and build practical skills. This can change the way that skills training laboratories/workshops are set up requiring less physical equipment and less cost. Virtual TVET will deepen student learning and allow us to individualize student learning pathways and tailor learning to each students’ own preferences and needs. This new style goes beyond “Blended Learning” to be what is now being termed “Braided Learning” and opens possibilities to change when, where and how we learn Skills.

Title : “Recent Trends in Fuzzy Logic based Computing and Decision Making Applications in the Real World”
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sunny Joseph Kalayathankal
Biography: MSc., BEd, MPhil, CIC, PGDCA, ADCA, MCA, M.Tech, Ph.D (Mathematics), Ph.D Computer Science Dr. Sunny Joseph Kalayathankal received the MSc. degree from Kerala University , Kerala, India in 1986, BEd from Calicut University, Kerala in 1987, MPhil in 1993 and Ph.D (Mathematics) degree in 2010 from Kerala University, MCA from Indira Gandhi National Open University, New Delhi, India in 2002, M.Tech IT from Karnataka State Open University in 2013 and completed Ph.D. in Computer Science under Bharathiar University, Coimbatore, India. He is currently the Head of the Department and Associate Professor of Faculty of Mathematics, K.E.College, Mannanam, M,G, University, India and has 31 years of teaching experience. He has published more than 65 papers in the areas of Fuzzy modelling and decision making, Graph theory and Applied Mathematics. He has served as invited speaker in various National and International conferences. He is the reviewer of Iranian Journal of Fuzzy System, International Journal of Fuzzy system and Journal of Mathematical Modeling and Computer Simulation.
Abstract: The thought process involved in the act of decision making is a complex array of streaming possibilities in which a person selects or discards information made available from diverse sources. In doing so one is led by a meaningful analysis of available information and optimal selection out of several apparently equi-efficient decisions. Since Zadeh (1965) published the fuzzy set theory as an extension of classic set theory, it has been widely used in many fields of application, such as pattern recognition, data analysis, system control, etc. The unique characteristic of this theory, in contrast to classic mathematics, is its operation on various membership functions (MF) instead of the crisp real values of the variables. Molodtsov (1999) initiated the concept of soft set theory as a new mathematical tool for dealing with uncertainties. Pabitra Kumar Maji et al. (2001) introduced fuzzy soft set theory which also deals with uncertainties. Out of the several higher order fuzzy sets, intuitionistic fuzzy sets by Atanassov (1985) and Ordered intuitionistic fuzzy sets proposed by Kalayathanal et al. (2010) have been found to be highly useful to deal with vagueness. Intuitionistic fuzzy set is described by two functions: a membership function and a non – membership function. We develop and apply similarity measures between ordered intuitionistic fuzzy sets to multiple attribute decision making (MADM) under fuzzy environment.

Abstract: The world population is projected to reach 10 billion in 2050, according to the UN. To meet the demand for enough high quality food, agricultural production in 2050 will need to increase by 50% more than in 2013. However, the facts of extreme weather, climate change, urbanization, ageing, intensive farming practices and global economy growth pose many unprecedented challenges. Transformative change in agriculture and the food system is required. Smart farming has brought promising opportunity for higher productivity and environmental safety. Using smart technology, farmers can manage their farm remotely. Sensors are placed in fields to measure environmental variables and collect plus analyze data to help farmers look after their crops. The methods provide cost-effective and highly accurate ways to predict and protect the growth of crops. The development of a smart-farming system is a multidisciplinary task: from the production site, distribution, and market sale to the consumer end. Intelligent technology can be integrated into every step of the industry chain. Major techniques include IoT, big data analytics, hardware control and digital service. This talk will give a broad discussion to of smart farming technology. We will also show how it is introduced to students in computer related fields.

Abstract— In 2015, the United Nations (UN) adopted a global framework of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) also known as the Transforming our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The SDGs address the global challenges of the 21st century all countries throughout the world face such as poverty, climate changes, living conditions, social justice and education. Open Educational Resources (OER) are teaching and learning materials that are available to anyone through the Internet, free of cost and under open licenses to allow others to retain, reuse, revise, remix and redistribute them. The OER initiative began in 2001 when the Massachusetts Institute of Technology broke barriers to access and use of educational resources by opening access to its course lessons with open licenses to another institution. Since then, the number of institutions around the world have used open licenses and the Internet to share educational resources.
In Thailand, the Thai OER project was launched in 2015 under the Online Learning Resources for Distance Learning project under the Initiative of Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirinhorn. It aimed to provide quality teaching and learning resources to students, teachers and learners anywhere and at any time by free of cost; to encourage cross-community collaboration for knowledge production and knowledge sharing by using information and communication technology; and to improve academic morality and ethics in Thai society. As of April 2019, a total of 5,666,665 users accessed the Thai OER system and more than 9 million educational items were downloaded.
This paper will present the role of the Thai OER project in supporting agendas to achieve the UN SDGs – increasing access to information and knowledge is an essential principle of sustainable development. Also, the paper will make some recommendations in different dimensions for institutions to adopt OER initiative with the long-term aim of contributing to the UN SDGs.

Abstract— A qualitative study deploying particularly the phenomenological approach was conducted in this research. The objective of the research is to establish the cross-cultural competency in terms of intrapersonal and interpersonal aspects as in
today’s world, competency is essential in such a way that, its compelling effect is evidenced from the aspect of social changes in Malaysia. The occurrence of the phenomenon is a result of the intense development of the country in moving towards globalisation. T
he social changes were manifested when Malaysia collaborated with other developed countries in order to gain technological support as well as the work force as the advisor for organizational development. As a matter of fact, this situation has affected in the upturn of race, religion, and cultural diversity in Malaysia. Hence, students who have the elements of crosscultural competency could increase their marketability level; as such, this type of competency is gaining a good feedback from employers nowadays. This research was performed by interviewing six respondents who have had the experiences of working in the multicultural organizations during their Industrial Training.

EFL Students’ Perceptions of Paraphrasing Skills and their Paraphrasing Challenges
Janpha Thadphoothon

Abstract— One of the challenging skills for non-native speakers of English is the ability to paraphrase written texts. To say it differently using one’s own words while maintaining its content, students need to understand the original text and acquire enough language competence to appropriate the text in question. Thai university students, like others, often find it a challenge to acquire
these high-level skills. The aims of this study were: (1) to investigate the perceptions of paraphrasing skills among Thai university students and (2) to investigate their paraphrasing challenges. This study examined 52 EFL students’ perceptions of
their paraphrasing skills and challenges. The students took a course on reading and summarizing of academic texts (EN 317)
during January to April 2017 at a private university in Bangkok. The researcher analyzed the students’ responses to the questions.
During the last week of the course, the students were asked to answer five questions concerning their perceptions of the paraphrasing skills. Results showed that students found paraphrasing skills to be essential for their language learning and
development. They recognized that paraphrasing skills were complex involving a myriad of skills and abilities. They also perceived syntactic and lexical (vocabulary) skills to be essential for their ability to paraphrase. Many of them said that they
could not decode the text and they did not know which words to use.
