Learning Experience Design · AI in Education · Bahrain
I'm Khalil Mohamed, an applied linguist and learning experience designer. I help universities, training teams and researchers build courses aligned to Quality Matters standards, bring AI into teaching responsibly, and get their research writing ready to submit.
Services
Each service starts with a short consultation, so the scope and price fit what you actually need.
Courses built around problems and projects, with students doing the work and objectives, activities and assessment pointing the same way.
A standard-by-standard audit of your course against the Quality Matters Higher Education Rubric, with a prioritised fix list.
Course pages learners can navigate without asking where things are, with quizzes, books and activities built to your standards.
Practical workshops on using AI for planning, feedback and assessment, and on designing tasks that hold up when students use AI too.
Submission-ready academic English for theses, articles and chapters in any discipline, from an applied linguist who knows what examiners look for.
Help with the structure behind a strong thesis or paper: the gap, the framework, the method and how the chapters connect.
Assessments that still measure real learning when students have AI, with rubrics markers can apply consistently.
Training your staff will finish and use, built with the same evidence-based design as university courses.
Coordination for multi-section courses: keeping teaching teams aligned, assessments moderated and deadlines met.
Approach
My work rests on social constructivism: people learn by doing meaningful tasks with others. Every project follows the same four moves.
Review the course, the learners and the data before changing anything.
Match objectives, activities and assessment so each one supports the others.
Create tasks, materials and LMS pages that keep learners working.
Use rubrics, moderation and learner results to refine the next run.
Built to the standard
Course reviews and redesigns are checked against each of these, so nothing is left for the formal reviewer to find.
Selected work
Course coordination and published research.
Course coordinator for foundation English courses (EL6006 and EL6007): leading assessment redesign, rubric moderation with teaching teams, and full Moodle course builds, including an interactive book on spoken academic English.
Three semesters of course development in Moodle, evaluated through the QM lens, with a focus on learner needs and inclusive design.
Compares AI-generated and teacher feedback on adult ESL writing in tertiary settings, for accuracy and impact.
Co-authored with Lamya Alkooheji. A critical discourse analysis of visual and verbal protest in Bahraini cartoon strips.

About
I design learning the way a linguist reads a text: closely, with evidence, and with the learner in mind.
I'm an Applied Lecturer and course coordinator in the Faculty of Professional Studies at Bahrain Polytechnic, where I've taught academic English since 2021. My work brings together research-informed teaching, problem-based course design, Moodle development and the use of AI in assessment and feedback.
Before teaching, I worked as a bilingual news reporter and translator and in client experience at a licensed fintech company. That background shapes how I work: clear communication, quick turnaround and attention to the person on the other end.
I work in English and Arabic (العربية).
