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.”
