There are many tools available over the Internet providing educators with the platform to implement online rubric marking assessment (ORMA). However, only a few success stories and studies about its usage among Malaysian higher education institutions have been reported, particularly in general courses such as Islāmic and Asian Civilizations (“TITAS”). Hence, this study aims to investigate students’ acceptance of an online rubric marking assessment of TITAS course at Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP). The study is descriptive using a self-administered online survey which deployed through UMP's official learning management system (LMS). The participants comprised 152 students out of a population of 1,590 students who took the TITAS course in Semester II of the 2016/ 2017 session. The analysis shows that in general the students were ready and very positive towards the use of ORMA due to its effectiveness and impact on their learning. Although there were many challenges in implementing ORMA, generally it was worth implementing in transforming higher education in an effort to embrace Industrial Revolution 4.0.Keywords: Performance appraisal, classroom observation, self-appraisal, lesson planning, job performance, instructional leadership, Islamic boarding schools

Student engagement is a very interesting subject in higher education. While many studies assess student engagement through survey, this approach claimed in literatures is lack of contextual analysis for decision making. Our motivation in this study is to integrate a simple way to assess student engagement of face-to-face session in blended learning approach within the online attendance system by identifying the data model supporting insightful analytics. This study aims to propose a new learning engagement data model incorporating behaviour, emotional and cognitive engagement for online attendance system. We found an interesting insight which there is a relationship of student engagements with the learning outcomes attainment. Initial findings in this study show potential values how our proposal may benefit higher education in adopting smarter way to measure student engagement while taking student attendance during face-to-face session in blended learning implementation.
