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 advance various industries and contribute to the nation’s progress.”

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 Education. The electronic version of the Letter Development

Patterns Test, which is based on the Arabiya Intelligence and Achievement battery, is designed specifically for
native Arabic 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.”

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.”
