After earning a law degree in her native Sudan and a graduate degree in anthropology in the United States, Mona A. Mohamed fell in love with computers, particularly the subject of human-computer interaction and e-commerce.

���If today���s students enter the workplace without a knowledge of e-business, they are lacking critical skills and experience,��� says Mohamed, who teaches Principles of e-Business and Problem Solving for Business within the Department of Business Analytics & Technology Management. ���No business today can be successful and attract more customers without an e-commerce aspect.���

Mohamed���s research follows a different path: extracting knowledge from open government data (OGD) by introducing various knowledge management principles in the OGD lifecycle. Her doctoral research focuses on human-computer interaction and the effect of culture in usability and security, the topic of her recent paper published in the ���Journal of Behavior and Information Technology Research.���

���How users with different backgrounds, cultures and knowledge levels interact with computers affects how interfaces and systems are designed,��� explains Mohamed. ���We want to protect the integrity of the system, but need a system that is easy for users to access.���

In another paper published in the ���Journal of Information and Knowledge Management Systems,��� Mohamed discusses how cloud computing reduces waste and promotes collaboration among organizations. ���It really provides a highly efficient structure for good computing,��� says Mohamed.

���I am sharing my knowledge with students, but I am learning at the same time,��� claims Mohamed about her unique teaching and learning experience. ���We want to give students the skills and tools they need to be successful in their organizations and in the e-commerce environment.���
