PLENARY 1: GLOBALLY ENGAGING STUDENTS WITH MULTINATIONAL
PERSPECTIVES USING VIRTUAL AND AUGMENTED REALITIES
By Hassan Iqbal

Abstract
As it has been experienced, the learning in different environments and
methods (between traditional and occasionally innovative) but the outcomes
of learning have never been achieved successfully considering the students’
individuality, global citizenship and connectivity with the real life.
Pre-pandemic, during Covid-19 and post pandemic phases in school
education disclosed the true realities of traditional thinking and practices in
the classroom and lack of connectivity and engagement with the essential
technological tools and solutions.

It is not possible to distance our students learning design from future

challenges and Futurology, which does demand technological ideology to
get engaged.

INTELLIGENCE

PLAYING GAMES IN CLASS

no learning happens and one of the reasons for using games in class is to

learning process actively.

such as critical thinking skills, creativity and teamwork. During this workshop,
I will be sharing some resources and strategies, which can be used in our
