About me
A leader in generating and catalyzing the creative process in which ideas as possibilities expand and unfold into products and services that broaden the reach and impact of the work.
Shahed is known for jumping from start-up to start-up, helping expand on what’s possible to fulfill the start-ups’ unrecognized potential as she fulfills her own. When she is not lost in some details behind her laptop or looking for the next little thing that’s going to become the next big thing, you can find her scrolling through memes laughing her ass off, watching her favorite YouTubers, daydreaming her Spotify playlist, or building houses on Sims only to kill the Sim in the swimming pool because she forgot to add a ladder! “DAG DAG”.

Online Course ManagerEdraak
- JordanFull Time
Edraak is a massive open online course (MOOC) platform that offers free Arabic educational content.
During my time at Edraak, I built out and developed:
Edraak’s Learning Design Program* that sets Edraak as not only a technology and MOOCs provider but also as a leader in learning and education for Arabic speakers in the world.
Unprecedented online courses* that successfully bridged the gap between dynamic interactive classroom experiences and isolated, fully formatted, and structured online experiences.
"Edraak Academy" an internal capacity-building unit designed to support the organization in transforming cross-departmental challenges into learning opportunities around learning and teaching pedagogies.
The Edraak Ambassadors Program from conception to reality to better connect Edraak with university-level learners on the ground. The Ambassadors Program held over 20 events in its first two years and had 50 ambassadors leading over 10,000 student members across its communities in Jordan.
*Learning Design Workshops included: Learning Design for HigherEd delivered at the University of Jordan and Jordan University of Science and Technology, Blended Learning delivered at the Edraak Regional Conference, and Open Educational Resources delivered at the University of Jordan’s 4th International Conference of E-Publishing.
*Online courses included: Online Freelance Work in collaboration with hsoub.com, Paper Art in collaboration with Waragami, Marketing for Startups, Blended Learning in collaboration with the University of British Columbia, and Intro to Overcoming Learning Difficulties in collaboration with SKILD Center.
