12/12/23, 10:07 AM HBMSU celebrates School of e-Education learners’ accomplishments
students. One of the key recommendations of this project underscores the significance of implementing
a Letter Development Patterns Test, based on gamification theory, to assess cognitive processing speed
of both gifted and average students in UAE’s first-cycle schools.”

Another project titled ‘Designing Tomorrow for Little Designers,’ was designed by Eng. Soraya Elsayed,

a learner in the Master of Arts in Online Curriculum and Instruction. This cutting-edge project is targeted
at nurturing and enhancing problem-solving skills, stimulating creativity and innovation in digital design,
as well as presenting an engaging platform to become proficient at Adobe applications.

Elsayed remarked, “Digital art represents an innovative approach to bolstering learners' 21st-century

skills as it employs various active and cooperative learning strategies within the classroom. The
interactive features of these programs not only make learning more engaging and enjoyable but also
encourage learners to innovate as young artists. This empowers them to design digital drawings across
a spectrum of artistic and engineering topics, from drawing tourist attractions and museums to depicting
nature and the Emirati flag. By doing so, it contributes to nurturing a sense of citizenship in the children.”

The ‘Fashion My Avatar: A Metaverse Immersive Designing Application,’ a pioneering online shopping
platform created by Nupa Riad, a graduate in the Master of Sciences in Interactive Educational
Technology, was also highlighted by HBMSU. This platform offers customers the ability to create their
own bespoke 3D avatars, which allows them to virtually try on new apparels, experiment with different

styles and designs, as well as find the ideal fit, providing them with a tailored and interactive purchasing
experience.

Riad commented, “This project marks a distinctive fusion of design and innovation in the digital
shopping landscape, elevating the user experience and fostering engagement with technical content.
The application empowers users to fully customise their avatars, from body shape to specific

preferences, providing a virtual shopping experience that transcends the ordinary. By immersing users
in a virtual world, the application not only adds moments of joy and excitement to their lives but also
significantly improves and simplifies their digital shopping journey. It transforms the process into an

enjoyable and educational experience, enabling users to explore and try on fashion at the convenience
of their homes.”

These accomplishments underscore HBMSU’s pivotal role in empowering and raising a generation of
highly skilled scientific professionals in curriculum development, teaching, and digital higher education.
By highlighting these projects, HBMSU has reaffirmed its dedication to pushing the boundaries of

scientific research by embracing state-of-the-art technologies. These advancements are aimed at
honing learners' skills and giving them a competitive edge in diverse educational sectors and industries.
