The final conference was an international event that had a 6-hour duration, spanned 7 time-zones from Portugal to Malaysia, and involved 10 speakers from 9 countries. The event was moderated by University Tenaga Nasional in Malaysia by Dr. Hazleen Aris and her team of researchers. The event was opened by Dr. Aisha Abu Bakar, a senior researcher from the University of Malaya.
It was a great opportunity to showcase the results of the ALIEN project through partner presentations on areas of expertise related to problem-based learning, such as methodologies and tools, gamification, AI, and more.
It further showcased partners experiences from applying the ALIEN problem-based learning approach at their institutions in different countries, such as Nepal, Pakistan, Malaysia, and Vietnam. Participants had the opportunity to exchange experiences from the deployment of problem-based learning and to discuss special issues such as effectively engaging large groups of students.
