A new birth

My first blog, Intangible Inheritance, dedicated to my son, has grown well, if I may say so. The readership of my personal blog includes my students at IIUM, something that I did not expect when I posted my first writings on II. This development lead to the idea of having a separate blog to cater to IIUM audience.

I do have work-related postings on II. However, having a dedicated blog would be more productive for the kind of postings that I write. I can reach the audience better. And I can keep my focus for II on Marwan.

So, I set this blog up to
1) share information on ergonomics and psychology, and my work in general
2) encourage participation from among IIUM students
3) provide a platform for problem-solving based on a mutual helping principle

While I will not resume my job as an IIUM lecturer till late 2010, I believe this blog can contribute to the current IIUM students, especially those taking psychology courses. I hope there will be participation from psychology and ergonomics students from other education institutions.

Next course of action: create a structure for the content of this blog.
