“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.

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.”
