Introduction
I have completed a PhD degree in Computer Science at Queen’s University Belfast. My research focuses on using, evaluating and improving the use of serious games in teaching STEM modules especially computer programming. Currently, I work as an assistant professor at LTUC.
I am an open-minded individual with a proven track record in planning, designing and conducting experiments, data collection and analysis. I am very interested in 3D game development.

The use of serious games in teaching and training is increasing; however, there is a lack of suitable evaluation frameworks to evaluate the different quality characteristics in the serious games. This study highlights previous evaluation frameworks and then emphasizes different quality characteristics that have been used in evaluating serious games...
For several decades, there has been growing scholarly interest in understanding how individuals can remain employable and successfully make career shifts throughout their working lives. While career shifting and employability are often linked in contemporary literature, they have developed as distinct concepts over time, each with its own historica...
Numerous techniques, including problem-solving, seeking clarification, and creating questions, have been employed to utilize generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education. This study investigates the possibility of using Generate AI (GenAI) to grade Structured Query Language (SQL) queries automatically. Three models were used which are ChatG...
Rapid developments in technology around the world require continuous efforts in academia to develop innovative solutions to enhance the learning of basic and advanced programming concepts. Educators understand the value of preparing highly skilled programmers to join the industry, and this puts a responsibility to develop and enhance teaching techn...
The failure rates in introductory programming courses still shows that there is a continuous need in research to investigate and propose new methods and techniques of teaching introductory to programming courses to attract more people to the information technology field and build more skilled programmers from their first course. This study investig...
Several studies reported the problem of high attrition and failure rates in computing schools. Many solutions were proposed and used to overcome these difficulties. The use of serious games for teaching computer programming was among the proposed solution. Several studies have reported the use of serious games and the benefits of using such educati...
Introduction and importance
This study aimed to determine the impact of DM, HTN and age on IVC dimensions as measured by CT scan relevant to guide interventions in a Jordanian population.
Presentation of cases
Two hundred patients were selected from those referred to the Radiology Department, Jordan University Hospital, Amman, Jordan for clinical...
The use of serious games for teaching and training purposes achieve positive results; however the lack of appropriate evaluation frameworks limit the benefits of the serious games. A five dimensions evaluation framework was proposed previously and was applied on a programming serious game called Robocode where university students played the game an...
Different types of serious games have been used in elucidating computer science areas such as computer games, mobile games, Lego-based games, virtual worlds and web based games. Different evaluation techniques have been conducted like questionnaires, interviews, discussions and tests. Simulation have been widely used in computer science as a motiva...
