4.3 Presentation Session
During the presentation session, surprisingly, the students were cheerful and even volunteered to break the ice. In many years of the instructor’s teaching experience, the situation was odd. Usually
Malaysian students are shy and are not comfortable to talk in front of their peers. When the first presenter came up to introduce his product, he was cheered by the entire class. The cheerful
environment was created perhaps by the playing session which was different from their common learning process.
The presentation went smoothly for all teams where they have started with description of the product developed, justified the purpose of the design and elaborated the usefulness of the product which
contributed to the community as a whole. The presentations also covered the opportunity to reason and argue among the students. The audiences basically enjoyed the question and answer session so
much to disagree with, criticize or adding positive information to the presenter. The presenter principally defended their product with the ability of reasoning and positive communication. Figure 6
shows the presentation session.

4.4 Conclusion Session
During the conclusion session, the instructor revealed the learning outcomes from the learning through playing effort. Through the process, the students will be able to develop something based on design
decisions made by collaborative team members. The students were also trained to be responsible for the design as every single part of the products they develop must have a purpose and hold some
quality features. On top of that, they actually developed the ability to make other people see the logic of the design decision and the usefulness of the product through presentation. This leads to the
effective two way communication as at the end of the presentation session, the floor was open for debate question and answer session to allow healthy argument among the students. The session
revealed the maturity among the students to convince others to believe on the products they developed.
Moreover, the instructor provides comments on the playing, development and presentation made by the students. The way of each team doing things and the differences between them were also shared.
Besides, the products developed were discussed towards the improvement that could be made in the future. This is important to demonstrate that a software development product comes with maintenance
responsibility. That was the reason of maintenance consideration made during the design. In addition, this was important to instill the realization of there are always room of improvement no matter how
good the products that have been developed.
