By: Orient Planet The first workshop, entitled “Middle East e-Learning Quality Framework ‘MelQ’: Standardizing quality in technology enhanced teaching and learning” will be facilitated by Dr. Souma Alhaj Ali, Director of Institutional Governance & Excellence, HBMSU. The session is set to tackle the need of educational and academic institutions to devise and develop a comprehensive system for quality management that can meet the demands and expectations of students, academic staff and the community. The workshop will particularly highlight the qualifications and features of the Middle East e-Learning Quality Framework (MelQ) system and the quality standards it represents from the perspective of students and parties concerned with education. It will be concluded with an interactive discussion on how to measure the gap between the students' perceptions and the expectations presented by the educational process itself. The session has been specially designed to help the participants gain a better understanding of the requirements, dimensions and standards of quality in smart education and technology- enhanced learning while also highlighting the standards and indicators of the MeLQ system, which was developed by HBMSU in cooperation with The Swiss Centre for Innovations in Learning (SCIL).

We are excited to host this workshop, which will offer an interactive platform to facilitate the exchange of the latest information and best practices in smart learning, the cornerstone to a better future.” Aside from the two interactive workshops, the exciting two-day event will also feature a series of best practices shows & demonstrations and panel discussions centered on seven key themes-- Smart Learning, Learner Centricity, Excellence Orientation, Smart Partnership, Technology Exploitation, Resource Utilization and Process Innovation.
