Another Paper Accepted for Publication-SCOPUS Listed Journal
AlhamduLillah, saya menerima berita gembira bahawa artikel terbaru saya diterima untuk penerbitan dalam Campus-Wide Information Systems, sebuah jurnal yang tersenarai dalam SCOPUS. InsyaAllah artikel ini akan diterbitkan dalam Vol. 26, Issue 4. Artikel ini saya tulis sewaktu balik dari belajar PhD, dan data diperolehi dari UiTM Johor. Kajian ini membincangkan permasalahan yang berkaitan user resistance and satisfaction terhadap pelajar di UiTM Johor. Ringkasan artikel adalah seperti berikut;
Purpose-Using the extended task-technology fit (TTF) model, this paper examines technology resistance, technology satisfaction and the Internet usage on students' performance.
Design/methodology/approach-The study was conducted on 354 undergradudate students at Universiti Teknologi MARA, Johor, Malaysia.
Findings-The structure equation modelling (SEM) results indicate that technology satisfaction and the Internet usage sifnificantly explains the variance on students' performance. Task-technology fit does not a predictor of technology resistance but it does predict the Internet usage. The Internet usage has greater impact on technology satisfaction than technology satisfaction on the Internet usage. Finally, technology resistance is not a predictor of students' performance.
Research Implications-The study focus only on the education in Malaysia and concentrates only on the students' performance and it relation between technology resistance, technology satisfaction and the Internet usage.
Practical Implications-The results provide insights on how the Malaysia education systems of a similiar structure could improve upon their Internet adoption.
Originality/value-This study is perhaps one of the first to address the Internet adoption in education line using an extended task-technology fit model to investigate their influences on students' performance.

Penerangan Dr. mengenai "Intelligent vs Genius" sangat menarik dan kontroversi.
Soalan lanjutan, bagaimana untuk kita mengenalpasti kebolehan (atau genius) kita, terutama apabila pencapaian dari pendidikan rasmi (biasa dipanggil book-smart) gagal mengenal pastinya bagi setiap individu, mngkin dari pengalaman Dr. sendiri. Saya rasa, pendapat Dr. ini boleh digunakan untuk memupuk "innovasi dan kreativiti" kepada generasi muda.
Satu komen, Einstein mendapat Doctorate from ETH Zurich pada usia 20'an. Dia tidak boleh diklasifikasikan sebagai manusia yang gagal dalam peperiksaan.
Pemahaman anda tentang genius dikongsi oleh khalayak ramai, termasuk saya. Tetapi ini bukan maksud phrasa "Intelligent vs Genius" yang Dr Norzaidi paparkan disini. Komen Dr.?
The term may be applied to someone who is considered gifted in many subjects[1] or in one subject.
Although the term "genius" is sometimes used to denote the possession of a superior talent in any field, e.g. a particular sport or statesmanship, it has traditionally been understood to denote an exceptional natural capacity of intellect and creative originality in areas of art, literature, philosophy, music, language, science and mathematics."
"Intelligence is an umbrella term used to describe a property of the mind that encompasses many related abilities, such as the capacities to reason, to plan, to solve problems, to think abstractly, to comprehend ideas, to use language, and to learn. There are several ways to define intelligence. In some cases, intelligence may include traits such as creativity, personality, character, knowledge, or wisdom. However, most psychologists prefer not to include these traits in the definition of intelligence."

Referring to your statement "Einstein mendapat Doctorate from ETH Zurich pada usia 20'an. Dia tidak boleh diklasifikasikan sebagai manusia yang gagal dalam peperiksaan"
Doctorate is not an exam. It is how the recipient shows that his/her research has "significant contribution to basic or applied knowledge whether it is in the form of Law, theory or interactive model".
