10. Contributions to the community
Consultant for teaching physics at Queen Rania Training Academy (QRTA).
I designed a course to train school teachers on modern and effective ways in
teaching physics to final and pre-final secondary grade students. The course
consisted of two main parts: the first is a face-to-face followed by a second
online part. Every year QRTA runs the course for tens of teachers throughout
the country. I used Flash MX to design the animations of physical systems.
The actively involves the participating teachers in suggesting and improving
the teaching methodologies. This was achieved by involving the teachers in face-to-face and online discussion groups.
11. Computer Skills
I am quite familiar with the following software and programs:
1) Running nuclear computation software on Linux systems. Such programs include: FRESCO, EMPIRE, TALYS etc.
2) Webpage design using: FrontPage, Macromedia Flash Mx. For scientific animations and writing HTML code. I have designed online e-learning courses for B.Sc. students which I run under the BlackBoard management system.
3) Windows, Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Latex, etc.
4) Mathematica, Fortran.
5) WebCT and BlackBoard for managing online scientific courses.
6) Unix Operating System. I attended courses on (i) Introduction to Unix and (ii) Unix Administration.
