I am from Egypt and work as an assistant professor at Department of Instructional & Learning Technologies, College of Education, Sultan Qaboos University, Sultanate of Oman. I received my Ph.D. in educational technology (see Summary & Chapter One in PDF) from the University of Hull in the UK. In 2000, I received the Best Educational Web Site award from the Sixth International Conference on Web-Based Learning in Fredericton, Canada for designing an on-line learning environment (called Wired Class). Within the last three years I have published many papers on on-line learning and distance education and my current research includes: the measurement of attitudes toward personal use and school use computers among Egyptian teachers and individual readiness of university staff to develop and implement e-learning approaches. I teach many courses in computer-based learning, instructional technology & media studies for undergraduate and postgraduate students.
