H.E. Dr. Mansoor Alawar, HBMSU Chancellor said,“We at HBMSU embrace a forward-
thinking perspective in the field of education. This stems from our dedication to strategically

integrate state-of-the-art technologies and advanced digital solutions into various facets of
education to enrich learning experiences. The University exemplifies remarkable leadership in

this regard, drawing from a rich legacy of pioneering experiences in the region's e-learning
and smart education landscape. This leadership is evident in the exceptional knowledge and
skills exhibited by its learners. They adeptly translate these skills into educational projects and

applications, which the University proudly showcases and presents to its audience.”

His Excellency added:“These strategic initiatives will contribute to raising a new generation of

educational pioneers and leaders among the nation's youth. Equipped with practical
capabilities and skills, they will solidify the UAE's position as a global hub for setting the
standard high in education and shaping its future trends.”

Prof. Hamdy Abdelaziz, Dean of School of e-Education at HBMSU, stated,“HBMSU believes

in the power of technology and innovation to transform education. The projects showcased

our commitment to pushing the boundaries of education and technology to empower our
learners. These remarkable projects also demonstrate the University's efforts to further

HBMSU showcased a variety of remarkable contributions made by its learners in the field of

e-Education. The University lauded the 'Gamification-based Testing – Gifted and Talented,' an
innovative project by Amal Alsaadi, a learner in the Master of Education in Gifted and Talented

speaking individuals. It further incorporates gamification theory to evaluate the processing
speed of gifted learners.

Commenting on her project, Alsaadi said,“The idea of this project, originated during my

master's studies, revolves around the importance of assessing learners' abilities, as well as
understanding their strengths and weaknesses using cutting-edge gamification techniques,

with a particular focus on gifted 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.”
