An ideal face-to-face tutor learner interaction aims to offer learning to the learner in a manner that best suits an individual learner's learning level and learning style. This ability of differentiated instruction has been built in Seis-Tutor Intelligent Tutoring system, developed to offer subject matter knowledge of ‘Seismic Data Interpretation,' a field of geo-physics. The detailed architecture of learner-centric curriculum sequencing module, built to this effect, with its components, sub-components, their interconnected functioning, to generate exclusive learning path, have been described. An algorithm for learner-centric curriculum sequencing, a mathematical model and proposed implementation using a case study has been elaborated.

The purpose of this article is twofold. First is to ascertain and establish the collaboration required between different stakeholders in the fundamental process of New Product Development (NPD). Augmentation of the process with the IoT origin real time data to enrich the efficacy of the New Product Development process forms the second part of the study. The primary data is collated from over 100 plus professionals while the qualitative data required for the second part is collated with the help of focused group interviews. The Likert scale with five points was deployed to record the opinions. The empirical analysis supports the theory that an effective collaboration is required between the different entities such as Sales, Marketing, R&D and going beyond the organizational boundaries Suppliers & Customers for the new product to be fruitful and successful in the market. The impact of using the IoT origin real time data on the effectiveness of the New Product Development is evaluated. In the current scenario for an organization to lead the market, it is essential that it has a descent product roadmap and an effective NPD. The current study reveals the importance of the NPD and contributes towards making it more effective with the IoT origin real time data.

Traditional methods of teaching have created several gaps in the Faculty Evaluation System. E-Governance of Faculty Evaluation System is a modern technique which leads to an efficient performance of the education system. Driven by the need for transparency in the system, the aim of this article is to propose a model for an efficient E-Governance of the Faculty Evaluation. The authors have conducted a qualitative study to build up a theoretical model for E-Governance of Faculty Evaluation System. Nineteen enablers are identified from the literature and model has been developed through Total Interpretive Structural Modeling Approach (TISM). The VAXO model, Reachability matrix, binary interaction matrix and transitive links have been explained in the article. The research has developed a model for the Faculty Evaluation System. This is an important concept and is in need at the present hour. This concept could bring equality in faculty employment system and impart quality knowledge to the Education System. This concept can create a novelty in the education system.

In the digital era, organization-wide information security risk assessment has gained importance because it can impact businesses in many ways. In this article, the authors propose a model to assess the information security risk using Fuzzy Petri Nets (FPN). Deeply rooted in the OCTAVE framework, this research presents a taxonomy of risk practice areas and risk factors. The authors apply the constituents of the taxonomy to risk assessment through a well-defined FPN model. The primary motive of the article is to extend the usability of FPNs to newer and less explored domains like audit and evaluation of information security risks. The unique contribution of this article is the definition and development of a comprehensive and measurable model of risk assessment and quantification. The model can also serve as a tool to capture the risk perception of the respondents for validating the criticality of risk and facilitate the top management to invest in information security control eco-system judiciously.
