I am currently an Associate Instructional Professor of Arabic Studies and Educational Technology and serve as the Undergraduate Coordinator for the Arabic Studies Program at UF. My research focuses on online and blended learning, artificial intelligence (AI), virtual exchange programs, and world language education.<\/p><!--PARAGRAPH_SEPARATOR--><p>I am currently working on two projects. The first investigates the pedagogical and technological opportunities and challenges that both faculty and students face in fully asynchronous formats within world language education. In addition, I explore how online learning theories can be effectively applied in this context.<\/p><!--PARAGRAPH_SEPARATOR--><p>The second project examines the role of AI, particularly generative AI tools, in shaping educational programs at the university level. I study how these tools can support faculty in creating engaging and effective instructional materials, ultimately enhancing the learning experience for students.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col flex-grow\">\n<div class=\"min-h-8 text-message flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 whitespace-normal break-words [.text-message+&amp;]:mt-5\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"49b5c498-85de-4776-8b0e-cfb55fd9cfb9\" data-message-model-slug=\"gpt-4o-mini\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[3px]\">\n<div class=\"markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert light\">\n<p>I am dedicated to exploring the intersection of technology and language education, contributing to the advancement of effective teaching methodologies.
