        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 advance various industries and contribute to the nation’s

        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
