Hello and welcome to my website.
I’m Farid Minawi, E-Learning Developer and Learning Experience Designer with over two decades of experience in education and educational technology.
My journey in education started in 2001 as a physics and math teacher for high school classes. In 2005, I built Physics Zone (physics-zone.com), a resource website for upper high school and undergraduate university students. That project became the launchpad for my path into educational technology — in 2007, I started developing interactive physics simulations using Adobe Flash™ and ActionScript, and published them on the site.
When Flash reached end-of-support, I rebuilt the entire simulation library from the ground up using the CreateJS framework. I continue to expand and maintain it to this day. Physics Zone has since gained international recognition, reflecting both the quality of the simulations and the demand for well-designed interactive learning content.
That hands-on experience with simulation development naturally evolved into a broader practice in e-learning development and instructional design. I now design and develop learning experiences across multiple domains, working with authoring tools such as Articulate Storyline, and delivering SCORM-compliant courses on LMS platforms including Moodle. I hold an M.Ed. in Educational Technology, which grounds my practice in both theory and application.
My approach to learning design mirrors my approach to teaching: guide learners to discover rather than just receive — making them taste the material, not just understand it.
I am a native Arabic speaker and fluent in English, which allows me to design and develop bilingual learning content for Arabic-speaking and international audiences alike.
